Steve in NJ, thats a very positive attitude for an engineer out of work. Best of luck in finding another position or a new career path.
I don't subscribe to the "sky is falling" gloom and doom. But then, I've still got a job.
We buy lots of parts, some made right here in Texas, some in other parts of the USA, and yes, some in China. Once the competition goes overseas we have to do whatever we have to to stay competitive and stay in business. But not everything can be sourced in China. We require some very tight tolerances and precision parts. We've had hell trying to get those out of China. Mexico lost a lot of business to SE Asia, but the Mexicans have learned about quality (I'm not kidding), and quite a few businesses that went to China are now coming back to Mexico.
I don't have any answers, but I don't see the end of the world coming either.
Lighten up and go drive your cobra
