[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference is that he understood the social trend. If you grow up poor, when did you become aware of what’s causing the poor to stay poor, what do you think contributed to that? What is our foreign policy and trade partner’ role in this? Why did we choose to “outsource” manufacturing in the 1980s?

Do you really think that manufacturing is the road to riches, and not tech?  Man, you're a dumbass.[/quote]

You're kind of a dumbass yourself, PP,  because manufacturing and tech are intertwined.  And there are huge national security implications.  Reshoring is an active process right now.  [/quote]

Hey Stupid, you know what else is always intertwined?  FANG engineer parents & domestic household workers.  Guess what, only one of them is making $400,000 per year.

Manufacturing does have HUGE national security implications.  But no country is going to get rich through factories anymore and no person is going to get rich working in a factory either.  But go ahead and encourage your child to skip college and look for a job on an assembly line.  (My children have enough competition from Asia already.)[/quote]

Manufacturing doesn't necessarily require human workers. And the production of manufactured items requires technology.  For example, Russia's entire war machine relies on imported US and Westerm European technology at critical points (machining equipment and software that runs it).

I hope we never go to war with China.  I don't think it's highly likely.  But if you look at what happened just regarding masks and ventilators during Covid, you'd hopefully be a bit more humble. Oldco manufacturing companies had to clean that mess up.  Not Facebook product managers or Apple iPhone designers.  [/quote]

In the short term china will continue to make stuff for the world. But they have a population problem so inevitably the capitalists here will need to seek alternatives: be it India, Indonesia, domestic, etc…
