>> even during the great depression, those assets kept producing. Production went down, but the majority of the production continued.

Haha! That was *then*, this is now. Show me where the production capscity is in the US today. What are we producing and how much of it? As far as I can tell, almost everything I touch is produced somewhere else, mostly in China.

"average plant utilization was 40 hours per week"

"as much as 50% of capacity stood idle in automobile manufacturing plants alone."
