    In short … America (and largely europe) no longer makes dies for things. We’ve even exported the knowledge of the die making process.

    “Made in America” “Made in the UK” “Made in France” all mean largely the same thing. Imported materials, imported dies, imported components assembled in “<x>”

      I feel like George Carlin’s piece on marketing buzzwords applies here.

      To paraphrase: “Full of chocolatey goodness” means “no fucking chocolate.”

      Only in this case: “Made in America” means “not fucking made here.”
