[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys, there aren’t going to be any new factories. The ones that exist will struggle to stay open with the tariffs in place. [/quote]

We need factories to manufacture the parts for the factories that are going to manufacture the specific parts for the manufacturing factories.  It’s not possible in any meaningful time frame.[/quote]

Exactly.  It will take years to get new factories on line.  Years.  There are a lot of supply chain and logistics issues to figure out.  Some companies are more likely to go under rather than being able to fix it all in time.  But Trump thinks somehow entire industries can turn on a dime, and sprung all this tariff BS without anyone being ready for it.[/quote]

Why would any company invest in a factory in the US? Everything Trump has done can and will change after the midterms and with the next president. No one will invest in the US. If fact the capital is fleeing the country.[/quote]

They won’t, that’s the whole point. Labor costs are too high, lack of a labor force (although MAGA is working in this) and environmental restrictions (MAGA working on this too but next administration might revert back to restrictions) it’s just not plausible and frankly is moronic across the board. Why would you move backwards and bring manufacturing and all the miserable conditions that come with it to the forefront of your economy. These folks are locked in a bygone era that has taken decades to move away from.  A highly educated, skills based, pioneer thinking economy is what the county needs not being knocked back to the Stone Age of manufacturing.  One of our biggest assets was being able to off load the manufacturing to economic hungry countries (it’s not pretty but it’s true).  A smarter approach would have been perhaps to limit tarrifs to finished goods, bits and pieces of larger goods could remain tariff free these parts could then be brought into the country for final assembly, shielding us from the destruction of true manufacturing while stimulating some easier to implement production growth. but that’s too insightful for this administration.[/quote]
