[quote=Anonymous]Anything that can be done with AI and robots will be done that way no matter what country the manufacturing is located in. So the argument that the manufacturing should be domestic cannot be totally based on bringing back jobs (because we are not going to have people standing at machines and feeding the widgets through them). It has to be something that we need to make here for security reasons (hence the CHIPS Act under Biden). We identified something that is necessary to our security.

We need to be much more nuanced about our tariffs, but unfortunately we have a president who cannot think that way. Therefore China has stopped sending us rare earth metals. So I do think that we will back down from these tariffs sooner rather than later. China's leadership knows how to do nuance and will outplay us.

It's ridiculous to think that we can make everything in the US. Of course we should do some manufacturing, but we should choose what that is carefully. We don't need to do everything, yet Trump is putting tariffs on everything. [/quote]
