Watching this, I was surprised to see that electronic control of motor speed and of welding equipment were technologies that were used industrially in the WWII era. I had been under the mistaken impression that electromechanical-based controls (based around relays or contactors) were all that was available then.

R.I.P America...We used to be the good guys and everybody loved and embraced American culture. And look what we have become: Despised and looked upon as an oppressor. What a fucking shame. The Founding Fathers of my nation would be appalled at what we have turned into.

@marcvie9 Sad but true...We are on our way out as a world superpower, both economically and militarily. Perhaps the way we have used China to get everything made so cheap, maybe they deserve to be #1 over us. We let them do it. Nobody's fault but our own.

Sad that our time has passed because of greed and abuse. We are a disposable society.
