I never said that USA makes nothing. I’m saying that workers at poorly managed companies with abusive unions (like Generic Morons) got burnt. All manufacturing didn’t disappear, just that which was inefficient.
As far as pain, no one ever said that you should make a $200,000+ investment without engaging your brain. Stupidity has a price. And next crisis, bet some of the rubes who are buying with 1-3% down are going to be crying again. Such is life when you jump without thinking.
