The ones that can wait out Trump are in the minority, many companies can't do that. They're also betting on tariffs not lasting after Trump which can backfire.
Even the ones that can don't WANT to. It's a pretty shitty thing to tell your shareholders that profits are down because you won't build one fucking factory to get around these pesky tarrifs
It's interesting that despite body doubles being used for practically the entire time goverments have been around, it is implausible for so many today that they are still in use despite seeing people looks very different on different days and at times being the wrong height.
Shareholders are the least likely to sign off on building a 2 billion dollar manufacturing plant if the chances are in 3 year or so, the cost of outsourcing them goes back down. They know labor is the largest expense and American labor is some of the most expensive.
Many already have. Apple has, TMSC, Honda, need I go on?
To be fair if it is better for shareholders for them to not build factories, then by law they are compelled to do that. A big win would be repealing the precedent set by Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. let a company invest in itself over having to pay shareholders, yeah it'd affect me as well as I benefit from them putting shareholders first but I'd rather the company I invested in still exist beyond my lifetime.
They don't even have to wait for a new President. Three days seems to be enough for the current one to flip. The necessary investments are not going to be made without ironclad commitments to stick to it.
I don't understand why people keep bringing up TSMC in the context of Tariffs enabling US manufacturing. All this shit you mentioned was long before Tariffs became a shiny new toy and was the result of other government backed industrialization efforts.
Who is buying toys? Children have exactly one toy (their iPad), I don't know what other market could exist for them.
The expansions to the plant were directly due to Trump. They knew tarrifs were coming. They want to keep their operations in the US fully to shield themselves for that.
Even at that, they don’t HAVE to build the factory. They can put bids for subcontractors and fill up the struggling mom and pop type places, for a lot of things
This is pure speculation. We realized how fucked we were in 2020 when chips stopped flowing out of Taiwan. Taiwan realized how fucked they were when China began seriously rumbling about retaking the island again. They started building in 2021.
Democrats and rinos being in charge has been detrimental to society
My nephew has been an autistic video game obsessed retard for much of his life. Due to masculine influences around him, he grew up and is a mechanic
Thats not true if I had executive power I’d draft feminists and other members of the laptop class to work in factories for the lulz.
Right but don’t tell them that we want them to suffah
Slap up a few "Rosie the Riveter" posters on high school and college campus bulletin boards and make women think they're distinctly unwelcome or considered incapable or unwilling to do that type of work and they'll start insisting on factory jobs just because they've been told they can't/won't/aren't wanted. The Rosie poster is to remind them that it used to be cool.
I see your reading comprehension is shit friend. I said that the co-bot required a worker to load and inspect its work. It's doesn't replace a worker is supplants having an experienced welder with having literally anyone willing to work with it while they hone their own skills. When you're short on welders like the US is you should be begging to have these machines spread far and wide to offer more jobs to people who need an entry point.
That's the problem. Many American businesses will go under soon after Trump's full tariff regime resume later this year unless domestic manufacturing can be brought up to task before then, an implausible task.
