I get together with some of the Makers I know, under the guise of going to small and medium Science Fiction conventions, and try to game out how to fix the problems in the USA. With the advent of 3D printers, we can bring back a form of the old local manufacturing economy. With lower fuel costs (and the money staying local), and the local manufacturing, Maybe we can start to fix things.
