There will be wars and rumors of wars...
Our dependence on Communist/Marxist countries for our manufacturing is a form of economic warfare, which has been conducted against us ever since Communism began.
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
Matthew 24:6-8 NASB
The “free trade” agreements that are so popular with our politically compliant elected officials, both democrat and republican, are written to economically benefit the few at the top of society but they mostly benefit our enemies, primarily China and Russia. The greed of the few, which have sold their country out for a buck, has been used against the United States, Australia, and Western Europe. Lenin fully intended to annihilate Western Society and said that the West would supply the Communists the rope with which they would strangle the West. That has been happening over the last 100 years. The West has given the Communist/Marxist Countries the technology and resources with which they will use to end us and “We the People” have been funding every bit of it since before World War 2. This is no rant against Free Market Capitalism. Communist countries are capitalist as well but only the ruling elite have the capital and the rest live in poverty and fear of punishment through imprisonment and through the fear of death. Communism is not an economic system, it is an incredibly deceptive and evil Death Cult totalitarian form of government that crushes everything that it touches and has caused more death and destruction than most people realize with over 100 million deaths over the course of the 20th century. Almost every bit of our current social problems can be traced back to communist sources.
They make stuff that is garbage and sell it at a significant profit loss just so they can wreck our manufacturing base and grow their economy. They have done so in a very effective manner. “We the People” have financed the nations that hate us and who plan our annihilation and we have financed the militaries that are being built to destroy us. A nation without a manufacturing base is easier to defeat in war. WW2 was won through manufacturing as have all wars. There will be war with China and Russia and there is a fair chance that it happens on our own soil and we are not prepared materially (I’m not sure if that is a word but I think you know what I mean), physically, mentally, or spiritually. It's coming and will be here soon. Britain waged the same economic war on this country right after the Revolution and then the War of 1812 happened.
This is the cost associated with the demise of our industrial and agricultural base at the cost of profits. And since we are in the middle of a communist take over, our industries will be under further assault until the actual shooting starts.
There isn’t much that we can do to prevent what is coming. It is inevitable. We can only make a difference in our local areas by preparing ourselves by getting close to Jesus, studying, training, and by working to save what is left of our industrial and agricultural base.
Where you shop and what you buy is important. Buy local made stuff when you can. By American made stuff when you can. Shop small businesses and eat at local owned restaurants when you can. I understand that not everyone can afford to buy high priced boutique goods. The reality is that our system is so broken that most of us, myself included, have to shop at walmart to some degree and buy stuff from the folks that hate us, but look around nonetheless. There is a good chance that you can find an American made version with a little bit of effort. If all you can do is to buy a candle from a crafter at a festival, then buy the candle. It will do more than you can imagine. Just do what you can, when and where you can.
What would be even more gooder is if you have the ability to make stuff and sell stuff and if you do then start making and selling stuff. It is imperative that we have manufacturing capability and every bit that we can save is crucial. Singer, the sewing machine people, made 1911s during WW2, so if you have the means then start making and selling stuff. Doesn't matter what, just start building. If all that you can make is candles and soap then make candles and soap. We need more soap and candle makers. The needs of the market will dictate what thing to build and the market needs a lot, but you have to start nonetheless and you have to start somewhere. Hope you have a blessed day.

the lockdowns created a whole new level of MLM (multi level marketing) where all the gals decided to stay home and make candles and soaps, and all kinds of different epoxy pours. And once you have those molds you can make anything you want a million times with a few simple ingredients. Lots of folks bought 3d printers too. Even if you don't feel like making anything right now, a lot of the shelf stable materials and ingredients are cheap to stock up on for later. Even if you don't want to sell it, you can trade it for eggs, seeds, etc. and help support your local folks. even extra screws and nails can help out a ton.
