When the political and economic winds change, we won't have the infrastructure or trained workforce to produce goods for our own needs. We have made ourselves dependent on other countries for basic necessities.

We have another one to add to our Chaco woes. Dansko has moved all of their manufacturing to China (most products were made in Europe). The good news is Sanita (who used to manufacture for Dansko) is now importing products into the US. Made in Europe - not as good as made in CO, but better than China IMO.
