Smart people, how do you pull this off re-establishing manufacturing in USA?

[lightbulb27]

With a strong dollar... getting stronger... makes our goods more expensive everywhere. Others cannot buy them...

Tossing out illegals (future cheap labor).

We know Americans aren't going to do a lot of jobs... slaughtering animals, roofing, welding, etc.. Americans are expensive... relative to their high production Asian counter parts.

Our costs are higher with energy and regulations...

Example discussion that raises the issue...

You might say cut reguations... like what... pollution controls?

You might say productivity... whose going to buy all those goods?

You might say drill baby drill? Oil is already below cost of production, you'll just run your own oil wells out of business. Talk to an oil well owner and you'll find out...

Then you say... tariffs. McGreggor notes they are problematic... drive more inflation as is reciprocated.

Help me understand the plan to achieve this...

The only thing gonna produce here is very expensive stuff... like TSMC chips, AI, robots... high tech. Even then, much will be made overseas. Taiwan, Vietnam, etc...

Is it a "pipe dream" to have more jobs in USA?

Who said humans have to do all the manual labor? You realize you can manufacture the same product in different ways right? You can have sweatshops filled with low rate slaves in a dusty warehouse in China doing it by hand while some CCP official yells at them and hits them when they fall asleep, or you can have pricey robotics do the same job 24 hours a day that require a higher initial investment by employs less unskilled workers and creates jobs for technicians that maintain the robots.

There is manufacturing and then there is advanced manufacturing. The prior requires more labor operating cost and lass investment in capital goods. The latter requires higher investment in capital goods and lower operating cost.

good post, you are right. probably only way is higher productivity via technology.
that means fewer jobs... and more social benefits as people are displaced?

[phraseology]

It means more jobs for Americans considering currently the slave labor is overseas. If you bring factories back to America there are more technician jobs with livable wages and less slavery outsourced to other countries. There are less people making products in a more efficient way, but more American jobs overall.

No, American Industries are the best at innovation and efficiency. Instead of driving businesses off shore with choking regulations and deadly taxes the government should be helping businesses invest in themselves and planning for a future. Tariffs can help if applied correctly and regulations can be cut along with the corporate tax rate. Mostly people need to realize that we are all in this together. Buying American made cars and buying less imported goods helps everyone.

Thanks for the MHO

How is it possible that people think illegal immigration is better than legal immigration?

[lightbulb27]

they feel bad for the people whom don't have eduction, resources and options that are locked out of the system. I think that is the lefts view...

Tariffs are amazing and whoever told you what you said about them lied to you.
