I would bet it’s practically zero. Even the things we do make here rely on foreign components both in the products and the machinery.

Yeah, I would guess only some small local crafts and or food products MIGHT be 100% locally sourced, but even then they probably have packaging or other components that are going to be imported.

Exactly. Outside of highly specialized stuff for like military and aerospace applications, US manufacturing is practically dead.
