RE: “manufacturing, that it is the birth of all wealth, and it supports ALL other jobs.”
I get your point, but I have a small quibble – IMO, “Manufacturing” is a level or two up from the “birth of all wealth”.
There was a Gold Eagle poster many, many years back. a German maybe. can’t remember his name, but I will never forget his constant refrain – “Nature Debited, Man Credited”.
His point was that the Farmer, the Miner, and the Fisherman through their labor, extracted wealth from the earth.
All humanity relies on their effort. They stop…. there is NO manufacturing, no anything. Without them, EVERYBODY else is back to scratching out a living as a hunter gather. They are the three pillars on which civilization is built.
