Scene one: The righteous strike

According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), nearly 90 percent of homes use air-conditioning.The US has a robust domestic air-conditioning industry, with companies like Trane, Carrier, Lennox and Rheem operating large-scale manufacturing facilities across the country.

However, while many air-conditioning units are assembled in the US, the majority rely on components sourced from abroad. Key parts such as compressors, circuit boards and refrigerant systems are often imported from China, Mexico and South Korea.In the bedroom, much like the living room, most everyday items, including clothing, toys and personal care products, are imported.The vast majority of mattresses (90 percent) bought in the US are made domestically, according to statistics compiled by the International Sleep Products Association.

Two US megacorporations - Tempur Sealy International, with its headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky, and Serta Simmons Holdings, based in Atlanta, Georgia - together account for nearly half of mattress sales in the entire industry.It is estimated that less than 10 percent of fabric goods, including blankets, sold in the US are made domestically. The overwhelming majority are imported, mainly from countries with significant textile industries, like China, India and Bangladesh.

The US apparel market is one of the largest globally, with consumers spending billions of dollars on clothing each year.

While the US once had a robust clothing manufacturing industry, much of production shifted overseas by the late 20th century to countries with lower labour costs. Today, only about 2-3 percent of clothing and only 1 percent of shoes sold in the US are made domestically. The majority of these items are imported from China, Vietnam, Bangladesh and India, which are top players in textile and garment production.The US apparel market is one of the largest globally, with consumers spending billions of dollars on clothing each year.
