There was fun article years back pointing out that regardless of the "we don't make anything anymore" narrative, the US has never been lower than the 2nd largest manufacturer in the world.

How’s that narrative go when looking at raw material processing? My understanding is that a decent amount of products we manufacture nowadays have their parts manufactured elsewhere in the world and then are just assembled in the US. That would certainly shift the narrative a bit I think. This is a genuine question. I know we probably still make our own petroleum products, we haven’t manufactured steel since the 1990s, with the collapse starting in the 80s, but everything else is an informational gap for me.
