Go to a rally up north and drop in to the shop.  They do good work.  Have lunch next door.  Chinese food or across the street.  American diner.

To be clear, the Lodge at the State Park (where the restaraunt is located) has no rooms as they are rebuilding. They do have a few cabins left for the dates of the rally. https://www.arkansasstateparks.com/parks/petit-jean-state-park


 The Cedar Falls Motel is a seperate place. It's an older mom and pop place just down the road from the Park Lodge, and it still has a few rooms open:  https://www.stayatcedarfalls.com/

Ummm all I saw was a basic copy and paste about how poor the job growth in the US has been. How the numbers are the lowest since yadda yadda yadda. That isn’t about our state of manufacturing. It certainly isn’t about a Kawasaki engine being built in the US.

“Saw this on the local news about how good the US economy and manufacturing is.“

Read it again and you will understand my post which addresses the US economy and the state of manufacturing in the USA as per the original post.

There is an article in Bloomberg News and there is also an article or two in the Wall Street Journal and plenty of other publications. If you find this information to be political, that is on you, not on the data.
