    Almost everything we do requires imports at some level. If it’s not direct ingredients, the machines we use need parts, or them themselves come in.

    If we wanted to solve it in a sustainable way, take all those fucking tax cuts for the rich, make them pay taxes and start grants for entrepreneurs to start manufacturing companies until we can make metal mesh and plastic shit here again for pennies.

    Make sure grants are only issued to things that are in need and that they have buyers lined up.
