Think about this.

It was always possible to put wheels on luggage. It wasn’t a vast engineering problem, it was just a social thing.

If a woman was travelling circa 1900, she was expected to have a man carry her bag. Either she was travelling with a man or she was supposed to have a servant/porter carry it for her. A man was supposed to carry his own luggage. “Women’s Liberation” and the drop in airfares came around the same time. Suddenly there was a market for wheeled luggage.

This entire article is weirdly misogynistic and misinformed.

Having our own supply of goods, making them here is good for both workers and national security. China is a hostile country after all.

Plus decentralization of goods is a very good thing. We have a shortage of cork right now because trees in Portugal aren’t producing, and if we were making some here, it wouldn’t be nearly as bad.
