Ironically a major factor was the supply of corn. Guess which commodity has people rioting for lack of supply. Admittedly not in the U.S. but surely it should act as a portent.
Therein lies a snag, what makes a product have a country of origin. Such as when all the parts are fabbed in China but soldered together in Mexico or some such. We have those kinds of shenanigans in the EU. My favourite is "Produce of more than one country".
Before Alcatel took over Lucent was losing money hand over fist. The were removing every other light bulb in Bell-Labs to save money in about 2003 I think.
Sadly I've been watching the demise for quite a while but hey, at least Jim McKie is still there.
Dennis retired. Dave Presotto, Rob Pike & Sean Dorward went to Google. Tom Duff went to Pixar. I don't know about the rest.

Anyone who has followed F1.
An F1 that has had ground effect cars, six wheeled cars, 6 second refueling, HANS device, rubber fuel tanks, traction control, ceramic disk brakes, carbon fibre body shells.
Nice idea, but it does introduce a supplemental problem : where's the water going to come from ?
Trees require (at least) 4 raw materials : sunshine, carbon dioxide, nitrogen & water. The first two are in excess in the system right now but the latter two are in shortage. You can add nitrogen and pollute the rivers but it would be some trick to magic up water.

Don't worry. The urban Indians will be dead from asbestosis or other pulmonary diseases before long. Same goes for the Chinese!
G-Strings! have you been to goa? Most of the women are over 50!
Great idea when over 50% of deployed web browsers can't render SVG at all.
Get yourself a better web browser if it bothers you so much.
I force mine to what typeface I want, turn the colours off and fix the font size.
Last time Slashdot sold user comments some people were rather unhappy about it.

F1 relies on building cars out of unobtanium.

You'd probably get away with a 701 but a 901 has better power management.
has value, not as valuable as what you say but still plenty.
