Yeah, no. North America forgot how to sew technical garments using materials like Gore, Toray, Everest--whatever your favorite material, not to mention specialty textiles like Merino a few decades ago. Are there cut-and-sew facilities here? Yes. Are they as good? No, and they are more expensive, indeed. The fact of the matter is that as of right now, you simply can't get the same quality as you can from China or Vietnam. Folks like to think it's "just cheaper" but in reality, they're "way better" at it, as it has become their craft.
Also, a $600 Arc'Teryx jacket does not cost $40 to manufacture. Material and trim is more than that. On top of that, they haven't changed hands since 2005 when they were acquired by Amer as part of the Salomon acquisition, so not sure about this debt load of which you speak."All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring."

So much for flattening eh. I'm not sure of the source either but those are pretty much the same stats Cuomo used in his briefing today.
Yeah the only testing severely symptomatic is so frustrating but aren't the rapid response tests are almost ready for distribution? Once those are out I expect we'll see more testing.

Thank you. I'm slightly removed as my ex is the one in the apparel production/manufacturing world. It gets tiring explaining how your (insert high end brand) stuff isn't made in a sweatshop and it costs more than a couple of pennies for the equipment let alone the technical expertise that it takes to sew/manufacture these goods. I managed the repair department at a brand and getting competent seamstresses was pretty damn hard and certainly wasn't going to get anywhere near an industrial sewing machine.

hyperbole. its a thing around here.
I actually just replaced my machine about 18 months ago. The prior one was over two decades old. When researching, lots of reports of machines failing in 3-5 years. I went with an LG that was rated pretty high for durability. No issues yet, But this one does not fold the clothes for me, so it is pretty basic (here I am using sarcasm - another popular thing around here)

Respectfully though, we wouldn't have forgotten how to sew and would be a competitive world leader in sewing technical garments if CEOs didn't move everything overseas to maximize corporate profits, due to shitty government trade agreements most likely: that I am not an expert on which ones....

I don’t get releasing prisoners that are already likely infected.
If they are going to say tested and negative, well why are they testing asymptomatic prisoners and not asymptomatic general public?
Edit, unless it’s just weed violations.

Holy shit.
"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday blamed the Democrats' push to impeach President Trump in January for distracting the Trump administration from the threat posed by the coronavirus.
"It came up while we were tied down in the impeachment trial. And I think it diverted the attention of the government because everything every day was all about impeachment," McConnell said in an interview on "The Hugh Hewitt Show."
Trump has come under sharp criticism for the nation's slow response to the spreading pandemic, especially for the shortage of coronavirus testing kits when the virus first spread to the United States."
