but it is made from rayon/cotton that was woven offshore.

That scares the hell out of me, this country doesn't make essential things like cloth or shoes, never mind replacement parts for cars and electronics. We no longer have the equipment to make any of this stuff on an industrial scale.

All we need is a disruption in trade routes to bring this country to its knees. We don't even need a war now.
