Also US manufacturing is synonymous with shitty quality and has been for at least 5 decades.

Some things are good some things are bad.

USA lacks proper regulation for operator safety in automation environments. USA company can manufacturer machinery that is easily capable to remove limbs and decapitate people.

EU regulations require safety be built into the machinery if it can be. This means anything that is manufacture in the USA and authorized for use in the EU is of better quality.

Most US companies don't care if one of their client employees is physically harmed because they put up a warning sign.
