Dustin from Smarter Everyday discovered everything is made in China. Even things made in India were made in China.

I watched that video a while ago. I was very impressed with his story and the product that he actually ended up making and I decided to preorder one for my dad as a father's day gift. It was also kind of sad and depressing that every aspect of manufacturing in the US is set up to push us towards buying from China, and it's even gotten me wondering if I should learn CAD design and toolings as a potential career change if my art career doesn't work out. It seems a lot less dangerous and potentially health hazardous, and I already have some training in 3D modeling and animation so I'm sure at least some of the skills would roll over, if I ever do decide to go that route.

I know a few machinists. One made decent money at a General Dynamics factory that was a union shop. The other owned his own shop doing subcontracting jobs but he said that peaked in 1985 and its all been downhill since.

I bet you his "american made" chain mail was also made in china

>>507315973
Probably. People fake material certifications for nuclear submarines.

According to capitalism, there is no distinction between infrastructure and economy

Libertarians believe the government shouldnt interfere in the economy, but a no state intervention policy means manufacturing capacity leaves to foreign countries. In reality no intervention is actually sanctifying a loss of infrastructure, not just an economic sector

It's funny watching white people with in-house machine shops on jewtube thinking they are god's gift to earth. They're like your wife who buys all that craft equipment she barely even uses. Sure honey, I like the cricut. Anyways, they forget that lots of families had even bigger shops in the early 1900s. Sure not capable of the same tight tolerances or better quality lubricants, but better quality. Hell, there were over 500 car companies then.

Anyways, I took a trip to China for my school's (Caltech) industrial design class in the early 2000s and I knew then that backyard machinists and millwrights were already in the hobby bin and of no importance. Sure, if you need a fabricator in a hurry, still useful. But those are stop gaps. It's been over and will stay over.

>>507314030
Learn some stuff from an old timer and see if you could pivot to industrial design. Your art school might have a machine shop you have no idea about.

wow who could have figured that china which has more than double the industrial output of the US is responsible for making most things in the world?

china literally accounts for 35% of all global industrial output. everything from the keyboard i'm typing on to the fan thats cooling my face and the scissors on my desk have made in china stamped on them.

the chinese are industrious people with a terrible government.

He is literally a former military engineer with high clearance who made missiles and now is a mouthpiece on youtube for the faggots in the military and CIA. He will say anything he is told. Weird that I currently make shit that gets shipped to china and taiwan for semiconductor making but somehow he could not possibly get a brush made despite other people making them in america, almost as if this faggot is a psyop mouthpiece for niggers who glow in the dark and kikes or something.

The fag in that youtube video is a former engineer working for the military making missiles as I said, he makes basically ads for the military all the time on his gay channel and other govt shit. He is a shill and will say anything and there are plenty of american made grill brushes. He just was told to push the omg we can't make shit in america BS by his kike handlers so redditors who watch his gay little science channel can go "see we need china" so the kikes can keep their cheaply made garbage money train rolling.

I watched half of this idiot's video, he's fucking useless and retarded complaining that stuff is made in China and then proceeds to buy it from India instead because he's so big into shitty "American manufacturing" but couldn't be bothered to produce the chain mail piece himself.
Predictably he got scammed by the Indians (lol) and they just sent him rebadged Chinese product at a markup.
His retarded mindset and logical leaps are probably part of the reason why Americans can't make good products.
I also find it funny how there are people in the comments shitting on him for selling an overpriced 70 dollar grill cleaner when a scrap piece of wood does the job just as well. And China ripped off his gay design and sells it for a fifth or less of his asking price and he whinges about it because muuuuhhh (((intellectual property)))
Fuck America, fuck Americans, death to America etc etc

>>507320945
you're not an engineer if you don't consider the simplest options first. sometimes the simplest, best, most cost effective way to solve a problem doesn't result in selling a product, so you don't make any money. this approach is unacceptable for Americans.
this idiot is just a grifter who failed to make a commercially viable product so he's trying to salvage part of his investment by making youtube videos about it

Alas, I'm already out of school and have been for a while, and I occasionally think about what would be a good practical backup plan if my art career doesn't materialize (I'd still be doing art on the side because it's my life's passion). One of my artist friends who gave up ended up going into welding although I've got concerns about the health aspects of it due to all the fumes, but designing and machining toolings seems like something I could get into if I could learn the software and get an apprenticeship with someone.

>>507318930
The video was the exact opposite, the point of the video is that it's worth working hard to get everything made in America even if the industry is not set up that way. The video was not defeatist at all the way you make it sound, it was actually showing that it's more possible than people realize. His end goal is to have the product be 100% US made but there are still a few components that came from overseas in the initial run, namely the knob which came from Costa Rica (it was supposed to be from the US), and the chainmail (which was supposed to come from India but actually came from China).

If the military has any interest in seeing this project succeed it's that the military is required by law to source all their stuff from US manufacturers, and there aren't very many left, which means the military finds itself with fewer and fewer companies who can bid for contracts, which in turn means more expense to the tax payer and less potential for innovation through competition, both of which are bad for the country.

In general, we need more manufacturing infrastructure security, and it translates to more good paying jobs with less IP theft from China. Case in point, Warhammer is fucking expensive, and it's because all the models have to be made in the UK from Games Workshop's own factory. It doesn't just provide jobs to American workers but it also means Amazon doesn't get flooded with unauthorized product that they don't make a cent of profit off of, which is what happens with pretty much everything that gets made in China that's worth bootlegging.

My younger brother works in a warehouse that ships parts for other businesses. He told me they've been required by some of the client companies to remove the "Made in China" stickers and other labelling because some of the clients that store parts in their warehouse claim their products are made in America.

The noise it makes is probably deafening, just like a regular helicopter that's why you won't be able to use that pos anywhere. It's also the same size as a small helicopter.

part of the finishing process (removing labels) was done in America, which means it's made in America. genius.

Lying about where product comes from is how it's been since the early days of Shart-Mart.
Sam Sharton used to pretend all goods on his Shart Mart shelves were made in America...Boomers actually believed it, the trucks had an American flag painted on them and everything very USA wow! Later the shocking truth was revealed by journalists about how it was ALL Chinese crap, but instead of ditching Shart Mart the Boomers just shrugged and kept shopping. They didn't care. And then Wall Street didn't even have to pretend anymore and just admit everything is made in China. America was fine with that.

>>507326109
The reality that no one talks about is moving all of manufacturing capacity to China was a stop-gap measure to contain devaluation of the dollar in light of the Iraq/Afghanistan war and pretend that it's keeping its value and inflation is below 2%. By moving production to the US you will see prices explode across the board. The rest is just irrelevant talking points and cope.
