Dumbass, while we have indeed outsourced much of our industrial base we still are an overwhelming trading nation! Egad, you mean we still actually...possibly...make things? How about these capital goods genius: gas turbines, conveyor belts, poultry vision control devices, sorting machines, construction machinery, crushers, grinders, elevators, escalators, stacking carts, robots, brushing machines, jig boring machines, riveting machines, scales, generators, looms, embroidery machines, envelope printing presses, juice extractors, peanut roasting machines, hat making machines, oil pumps, gas compressors, industrial ovens, microcomputers, tape storage units, automatic teller machines, refrigerators, water filters, transformers, electric switches, condensers, traffic lights, telephone switches, television tubes, photovoltaic devices, powered brooms, aircraft, helicopters, rocket motors, barges, towboats, pontoons, space vehicles, radar systems, gyroscopes, laboratory incubators, thermostats, buoyancy instruments, surgical instruments, dental equipment, X-ray plates, and clocks.
These in addition to all the weapons we sell, the services our financial industries provide, and the foodstuffs we export. While our automotive industry is being overtaken in raw numbers by the Japanese, we still sell a SHITLOAD of cars. GM's Opel Vectra will be driverless thanks to Traffic Assist and new auto companies based on electronic and other fuel sources are springing to life in the SouthWest. Not to mention the fact that our nanotech industry (and possibly robotics if we partner up with the Japanese) will undoubtedly propel our economy ever higher in the upcoming years.
And do not worry about my passing grades, I've done well enough so far...I shall not disappoint you my little rhesus monkey. In the meantime, keep up the comma splices and generally poor grammatical structure. Kir to koone nanat
