People seem to miss the forest for the trees. Anyone who thinks a company as small as System76 could make every part of a computer in the US is just delusional. It'd take billions of dollars just to build a fab for CPUs, let alone everything other part.
There's been growing discontent in the US about the loss of our manufacturing capability, but instead of encouraging companies like this to bootstrap (some) manufacturing by building the parts that make sense here, people choose to mock them.
Meanwhile, Apple makes products completely in China, slaps a sticker that says "Proudly designed in California" and everyone is all oohs and aahs are every time they launch a product.

No. The discontent is about less people working in manufacturing. Manufacturing itself is actually fine.
