Are we in troulbe?

It seems as if we are in trouble as a society. We are having all of our stuffed outsourced in being made, and I'm wondering if we are going to remember how to make anything if the unthinkable happens. Maybe China might decide to cut us off. Have we disposed of all of the tooling to make vairous crucial itiems in favor of saving a few sence here and there. If that is the case we are in trouble.

We're a nation of consumers. Soon we'll be completely helpless if we continue at our current pace, not unlike the Spanish after they began plundering the Americas for gold.

We're not yet outsourcing our nuclear weapons production to India or Iran. There's still job security in that field.

He didn't want to do it, but Eve dropped her fig leaf thong and he had no choice.
