The US has gone from 15% to 10%
The UK has gone from 13% to 8%.
Amazing that rich, advanced services economies like Singapore (20%) and Switzerland have such high GDP shares in manufacturing

Fuck this news to hell but also, cancer is a nonpartisan issue. Ron DeSantis’ wife has breast cancer. Steve Scalise has blood cancer.
