I'm aware of a couple companies doing this first-hand too. One I know of has an existing production line with the warehouse poised to have the wall knocked out and expanded for more production in the US already.
Transforming a warehouse into a production facility isn't that difficult when it comes to heavy machinary. The biggest problem from what I witnessed is the internal logistics, limited area and long term planning (mainly future expansion and sunk cost fallicies). The biggest concern, from what I witnessed, is the uncertainty of moving a chunk of your production to the US while having the same productivity at home. In the EU it is hard to fire employees when business plans chance and due to the nature of the work being specialized there are barely any 0-hour contracts nor external employees you can skim from to reduce headcount. Furthermore, there is insane demand for hands-on (metal) workers like welders in the EU (one wood processing company in the Netherlands has a 20% Eastern European workforce on the production floor and slowly increasing because barely anybody young is willing to become a woodworker, causing the experience of senior employees being lost to the younger generation). This causes a dilemma where it is prefered to retain welders even it is tanks the productivity. But some production lines get bottlenecked at the welding process so it could alleviate it in theory.
tl;dr The entire tariff situation will become difficult for EU manufacturers that have US ties due to the fucked up EU labor pool, EU labor laws and uncertainty.
 
The biggest mystery for me was the videos out of China of people falling over dead in the streets. I suspect they were fake but why? The other possibility is that it actually was really deadly but that ends up for selection and mutation towards a less deadly strain very quickly. Perhaps the chings took a bullet for us by dying from the deadly mutations too quickly to spread the particularly deadly strains. If this was the case a major concern would be that China likely has samples of that variant and may be replicating large stockpiles of it.
There’s some people who estimate their losses from covid to be millions. I suspect it was a lot more dangerous but evolved to be less deadly with time but it still has long term health ramifications. Specifically that it results in blood clots. I know young people who never got the shot that did get covid die from strokes. A lot of the casualties were likely due to overreactions and putting people on ventilators too.
 
Xi has written explicitly in his political treatises that the way to beat the US is simply time. He knows that presidents change every four years and his plan is to wait out Trump. After Trump leaves office, or maybe even after US midterms (if Trump's plans go awry), China can re-negotiate with better leverage. The gamble from Xi is that Trump's economic plans will fail and the gamble from Trump is that his economic plans will succeed.
This is why Trump's responses need to be firm, extreme, and immediate. He needs results fast and deals secured, or else all this could fall flat on its face and ruin any future opportunity for change.

I am guessing it will fail.

It takes several years to build a factory, not even including sourcing new materials, rerouting supply chains, and training and employing people.

There are tariffs on the raw materials, so the sourcing of raw materials will need to be done domestically. There is no infrastructure to source these materials so that will need to be done before any factory to actually produce a good is built.

Trump is a fucking idiot.
 
I can't imagine one or two more decades of this decline, you'll be sharing a pod with your colleagues Han, Xi, Sukhdeep and Jalid.
See:
This is why I voted for Trump. The status quo was decline. I’d rather roll the dice and live with the consequences. Even if there is a collapse I’d rather speed it up and start the recovery now.
This, a thousand times this. Trump's plans might fail, but the alternative is managed decline and we're the same kind of fucked if he fails. It just happens quicker if Trump's plans don't work out. However, if Trump's plans succeed, we're on much better footing that no one prior thought possible. Might as well roll the dice.
I initially heard it mentioned on msnbc which I put on in the background because the seethe is calming. Ruters is reporting it too.
Thank you very much, sir. I love how petty the contemporary Chinese ethos is. I got a great laugh outta this.

Yes, this is why Trump is moving so fast this time around. He knows the longer he waits, the most likely it is that people can and will undermine his administration.
 
Also all the idiots whining about a “lack of capacity” should be laughed at. When they initially outsourced, none of the countries they outsourced to had any capacity. They had to buy machines for the other countries and train their workers. If it wasn’t an issue to move production to an unskilled country, then it shouldn’t be any issue to move it back to the US.
systems are only as strong as they are required to be. if you stop exercising, your muscles will lose mass. if you stop learning, your brain will wither. if you allow cheap garbage that poisons you to be the cheaper option, people will purchase it

there is no "easing" back into manufacturing. as long as what is essentially slave labor is available, it will win over funding the quality of life that makes America great. the only way to bring back domestic manufacturing is to require it to happen. as soon as it's required, the system will grow to meet demand

that is what the tariffs are for
 
I would like America much more if their government didn't consistently simp and suck off billionaires, CEOs, and capital owners.

Even right now, Republicans are working on a tax bill to give huge tax breaks for the wealthy while doing little to nothing for the regular person. I can't really be mad at a random Chinese person when these greedy rich faggots have a greater effect on my life.
Impressively ignorant, do you have a retard newsletter?

Retard The Pooh has no clue this involves a political argument that's been ongoing for 40 years, and we've nationally agreed on the validity of borders, and protectionism.

It's going to be really funny when his lackies in the Central Committee, realize Xi personally caused the US voter base to agree the 90's Democrats were right on trade.
 
I just want to interject here with a different observation. My mother, as I mentioned earlier is a long time mortgage broker and does a ton of reverse mortgages and I hear her on the phone every day with people (my mother lives with me and my fiancee. She's 82 and still works full time though)! I've heard the calls for years and years. It's been my honest observation that the people calling for reverse mortgages aren't the "I'm a boomer and fuck my kids I want my money now to spend on me" people. The calls she gets all day long is shit you can't believe and it's people who mostly don't want to leave their house to their kids because their kids are horrible
Someone sure didn't raise those children right, for them to be so lacking in basic human empathy for... the people who birthed and raised them.

Somewhere along the line, those children were never taught the moral value of charity, selflessness, and family bonds. Weird, because biology hardwired in a system where children were paired with a specific set of adults for a sufficiently long period that those adults could oversee their moral growth, and have time to teach them through instruction and by example the virtues needed for happiness and a thriving society. And in exchange for that investment in their childhood, those children would give back to their parents in their old age.

But boomers knew better than biology, tradition and religion. They handed their children over to temporary caregivers whose investment in their child ended after a couple of months, and who had too many children in their care to pay attention to each child's moral development in the first place. They kept their children out of church because religion was a bore and a burden and so even the backstop of moral instruction from society was eliminated. And then the parents mocked the religious as deluded and outdated, so the chance of their children stumbling on that instruction independently was deftly prevented. And as far as the example that the parents could have imparted naturally, those same parents recklessly destroyed their families through divorce with no care for the effect that it would have on their children - only now to bemoan that their children are utterly lacking in familial bonds.

Sure, not every person with uncaring children has themselves to blame, but more than enough of them do. And if those same parents were very good, responsible, kind and charitable people to their employers, friends, and strangers, well, they should turn to those other people who received their attention now that they need their charity reciprocated. And if the parents have now repented and wish to have those close family ties and the responsibility that goes with it, well, it's too late. They missed their window of opportunity, and current repentance doesn't spontaneously create a history of investment in their children. It doesn't give the children the life experiences they missed out on.
 
This person was just crazy. Have you seen my show? I get rejected all the time, but it never made me troon out.
The social contagion aspect of transness indicates people do it for attention. She took no concrete steps beyond making her therapist record it, and writing some masturbation material out.

But she apparently never even made an attempt to get testosterone, so the attention aspect wasn’t paying off enough for her to pursue it further. She didn’t have trans friends or any kind of community, she spent more time writing diaries than shitposting online.
 
I am guessing it will fail. It takes several years to build a factory, not even including sourcing new materials, reroute supply chains, and train and employ people.
We've seen more effort and economical developments the past two months than in the past 30 years. If anyone could warp speed these things into reality it's probably Trump. But it has to be pushed to ludicrous speed.

You don't have to be an economic genius to understand that switching to American manufacturing will not cause $500 shirts or whatever retard doomer shit people think will happen.

Ask yourself, doomer: Were shirts $500 BEFORE the USA started making shit in China?
Were prices in 1950s, 1960s, 1970s ten times greater than in the 1980s, 90s, 2000s, when we started importing Chinese garbo? No? H-how could that be, doomer-bro? HOW COULD THAT BE??

We started moving manufacturing to China around 1980, and increased it until the early 2000's, when "Made in China" became all encompassing. Do you think we can't move that shit back in less than 20 years? Sure, we have problems with our workforce, infrastructure, mining, etc. Those are all self-inflicted problems though, all completely solvable. A single elderly boomer in an American automated factory could easily produce more product and better quality than an infinite supply of Chinese child slaves ever could. Prices could literally go DOWN niggers. Get in the factory, grandpa!
I think people's expectations are tainted by the only remaining clothing manufacturing being left in the USA is on the premium end of the scale. T-shirts are not made here for the most part, or regular socks etc. its premium socks, its premium shirts its premium jackets.

US clothing can be cheap, but it can't be as cheap as Chinese clothing. so the only place left in the US with room for business was premium clothing. Stetson, Filson, ETC.

The other possibility is that it actually was really deadly but that ends up for selection and mutation towards a less deadly strain very quickly.

If this was the case a major concern would be that China likely has samples of that variant and may be replicating large stockpiles of it.
I realized all of those videos were fake when they tried to put out a video claiming the virus turned two Chinese people black. It was propaganda. All of it. From a culture that fundamentally doesn't understand the US -- that's why they thought the idea of a virus that turns people black would terrify us all.

They were trying to terrify the West to cause us to self destruct. And it worked.

good. european labor became so inflexible because they thought the money that the US pumped into stabilizing their dumb continent would last forever. it's easy to make ridiculous demands from people who build the shit that runs your country when you don't have to deal with reality
 
Let me work my magic I'll try
90 page of now today (not new current 1000+ pages withheld by FBI as of now)
There is a lady, she had access to it : x account
YouTube breakdown of the trannyfesto
Megyn Kelly site
As i understand the full report should maybe come publicly soon enough.
Here the police report as well.
Does anyone have a link to the full manifesto (sick pleasure of mine)? I can't find it anywhere.
There you go bubba.

I politely disagree with you on this. As much as I like to mock the Chinese, the CCP, and Xi Jinping himself, he will go down in history as a great man. In 1990, China was a backwater nothing. By 2010, they became an economic near-peer to the United States. Yeah, the place looks like the 1940's when you drive 3 or more hours outside major cities, but the major cities are well-developed. You don't accomplish this if you're an idiot, or your country is filled with idiots; nor do you rise to the top of the CCP by sheer luck.

Xi Jinping's argument is simple: the US is top dog because of its economic dominance, and China can replicate that. Xi's bet is that his country is too economically important for these tariffs to last. Trump's bet is that Americans have the spunk to eat the short-term cost and reshore. The main issue with Trump's plan is you have to be a patriot to agree with it. Xi is betting that not enough of us are.
 
Are there tariffs on Italy? been trying to find out and all the charts i have found do not have any entries for Italy. in regards to foreign goods Italian imports are all I really have a interest in.
We are all tightening our belts, nigga. That means you gotta cut down on the old Roman coins, pizza, homosexual gladiator movies and fancy deli meats.
