Ed's rocking his Harley Davidson hat, and Alvaro's got golf on the brain as they tee up the question everyone's asking: Can American manufacturing actually compete in 2025?

They'll explain why your product getting touched 10 times before hitting the shelf is a problem, how Zippo lighters prove their point, and why Ed's wood pallet story will make you rethink everything about long supply chains.
