anime was right posted:theres probably some company in china that makes CRTs to maintain old equipment. its pretty standard for some company to fill the demands for outdated parts. They sold off their operation to another Chinese company that couldn't figure out the tolerances so CRT production is over.

That's the funny thing -- there's still a crucial part of assembly that requires manual labor between the electron gun and the tube itself: quote:...When the last major manufacturer stopped making CRTs, they sold the manufacturing equipment to a Chinese company that couldn’t properly reproduce the winding procedure. “Turns out that’s a semi-manual process,” says Ware. “You have to wind the CRT bulbs by hand, so they stopped making them. I have an engineer on staff that couldn’t do it. I couldn’t do it. It’s almost an art form.”

I helped my friend move one of those into his basement a few years back, he doesn't live there anymore but I think it's still there. They've just accepted it as a permanent part of the house, it's probably covered with a drape and has plants sitting on it or something.

economic policy matters https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/america-is-regressing-into-a-developing-nation-for-most-people quote:In one of these countries live members of what Temin calls the “FTE sector” (named for finance, technology, and electronics, the industries which largely support its growth). These are the 20 percent of Americans who enjoy college educations, have good jobs, and sleep soundly knowing that they have not only enough money to meet life’s challenges, but also social networks to bolster their success. They grow up with parents who read books to them, tutors to help with homework, and plenty of stimulating things to do and places to go. They travel in planes and drive new cars. The citizens of this country see economic growth all around them and exciting possibilities for the future. They make plans, influence policies, and count themselves as lucky to be Americans. quote:We’ve been digging ourselves into a hole for over forty years, but Temin says that we know how to stop digging. If we spent more on domestic rather than military activities, then the middle class would not vanish as quickly. The effects of technological change and globalization could be altered by political actions. We could restore and expand education, shifting resources from policies like mass incarceration to improving the human and social capital of all Americans. We could upgrade infrastructure, forgive mortgage and educational debt in the low-wage sector, reject the notion that private entities should replace democratic government in directing society, and focus on embracing an integrated American population. We could tax not only the income of the rich, but also their capital.

Politicians should be forced to spend a year living in inner-city Detroit/Baltimore/St Louis/Kansas City etc. with a min. wage salary before running for office.
