Good for your buddy. Sounds like he’s in the sheet metal fabrication business. That’s what I did back in the 90’s when we made computer cabinets here in the US. I had Amada punch presses back then.
The 90’s were spectacular times economy wise with the advent of pc’s and the internet.
I hope we do get back to manufacturing here, and you’re right, it will take some time. We need to rebuild our middle class. We were never as strong as we were when our middle class prospered.
