Automation/robotics

I’m unclear where businesses will find workers of all these factories that are to come back to America. Nearly every company in the area I live in struggles to hire workers now. I can’t see where a sewing factory or one making sneakers is gonna have any luck recruiting help.

Good article on BS Dirt, creating tariffs to cure Americas debt and economy is like transplanting lynx in Colorado, just does not work. What is going on now with Musk is like the surgeon telling you he can do surgery on your brain tumor and then coming into the operating room with a chainsaw. There is fat in the government and employees that are not productive but randomly gutting agencies should not be done by Musk and Doge. The agency should have been given a year to trim there budget decide where is should be done and given an easy route to getting rid of the dead wood. l raise cattle and a few horses for a living and have been operating two ranches for years. I started with loans a lot of them and help with GI benefits. I have always run a thin profit margin, kept debt down and had to cull the herd but having a ranch hand come in an make those decisions was not in the plan and would not make sense.
What's going on now is billionaires enjoying a power trip and fattening their bottom line and its not going to fix the problems the way its being done, not in 4 years or another term. America needs to get some working class into politics, hold the accountable for their lack of duty and violations of the law. They need to work together for the American people and untie them not tear the apart and try to isolate us from the rest of the world.

Tariffs are not going to improve the U.S. manufacturing problem as much as you hope. The real solution would be to slowly reduce government spending ( or reduce growth ) and let economic growth catch up to spending. That is what they did in 90's If there needs to be pain, it should be on all the recipients of government wealth transfer programs. This current nonsense is smoke and mirrors. IMO.

What a nut! F-35's to fight drug cartels? Good grief.

I agree. My question is when is the last time we have had real economic growth not fueled by government spending qe and artificially low interest rates.

I don't like tarrifs, not a fan. Don't know if they will bring back manufacturing. I also don't like other countries putting tarrifs and restrictions to free trade on us.

I also agree with jbyrd that I believe the stock markets were vastly overvalued and this is part of a correction that was overdue.

No, beaver stud muffin, you don't get it.

For the price of a single F-35, we could have waged a very serious actual traditional small arms war against the Mexican drug cartels. F-35s are the MIC, star collars, and the uniparty geopolitical think tank fantasy dreams to fight the Chicoms in their home waters and air and/or Russians directly or maybe they would settle on an air campaign against the Persians.

All in location. Down here people would kill for a decent paying factory job. But no, if factories are gonna pay less than McDonald's or Walmart, they won't find much help....
