It’s going to be a necessary task. China took the work by hostile means, and this is not sustainable. You want to build them a bigger navy?
I was essentially agreeing with you so I'm not sure where you're coming from. The purpose of those robots is to replace multiple humans apiece. That's why they exist. Five humans maintaining a few million dollars worth of robots replaces a hundred or more manual laborers.
Retard, co-bot's cost like 20-30k. A miller welding robotic cell costs like 120k used. Stop coping about a topic you're really poorly informed on.
For as long as their parents keep paying for the apps and phone they have a pacifier but not a innovation tool. Kids don't use iPads like adults. They watch silly bs from other creators, mimic them and become robots to trends. Toys inspire creativity and imagination, which is why zoomer liberals have none because they were raised as trend followers not innovators from same "iPads" at age 5.
The specific robot in that pic is a Vectis Cobalt Welder. They cost $95k-$140k apiece. I looked it up before posting, something you should've done. I am a retard though if that makes you feel any better.
I keep seeing people bring this point up but at the same time these businesses are mostly stimulating the Chinese economy because they buy from and sell crap from China. I don't really care if those businesses go under because they don't do anything for me.
Are you telling people to buy a BMW instead of a Luxury Truck they don't use for truck stuff?
I feel like, given the current makeup of corporate decision-makers, untethering them from shareholder accountability re: producing shareholder returns might just result in them going 100% in on DEI and climate stuff.
It won't be a completed task before the midterms.
They will keep building ships of war regardless of whether or not Americans are walking around in shoes made by Xi's sixth cousin twice removed.
Wouldn't you like to know.
You mean they didn't when they had to be accountable to shareholders? I feel you bud but I think they're gonna go money chasing and DEI doesn't sell unless you get government grants to write off the costs.
I know a couple of severe TDS people who've agreed that, if renegotiating tariffs and regulations allowed them to buy a Toyota Hilux, they'd accept that as a win.
A lot of the people arguing against onshoring of manufacturing and its viability have exactly one mental model of how factories work, which is 50 year old men in dying industries using archaic manual processes learned through blood, sweat and tears. Any solution that doesn't immediately restore exactly that is simply infeasible to them. When in reality, its like starting up any other business or industry, you work with what you got and what tools are available. If all they have is zoomers and six figure CnC hardware, they'll figure out how to make it work. Besides, a $100k machine in a machine shop is a bargain, not a horrific burden. For context, fitting out a new restaurant can run you anywhere from 500k to a million, easy. People don't really have a good context of the scale of the money that goes into any slightly serious business venture.
Oh, the company will lose money, but that's the company's problem. You've already got your golden parachute and can move onto the next target once this one is drained.
No, probably not, but again. Imports can be re-sourced through a ton of different places in the short term, and the investment pledges were getting will be showing up on balance sheets and making work for construction guys by then.
They got the money to do it from us. They’re continuing to get the money to do it from us, or we’re until last week
I don't even know what that sticker looks like.
its not tariffs keeping the yota from american shores its safety and emission standards
There are still kids that play with toys. A lot of parents these days set hard limits or don't even give the tike a screen the moment the exit the birth canal. Sure there are some that will sit in a stroller at the zoo with their face attached to a phone but there's also plenty of kids running around without a screen as well. The park by where I live is always packed with children and their parents/grandparents.
I love lego as a toy. When the kids are small you don't even have to worry about getting particular sets. My kids like to build little animals and "houses" for them as an example. The worse thing i have to do is buy eyes in bulk.
I'm just tired of seeing sun roofs on every single vehicle. I drive a borderline minivan, I don't need a sunroof.
The incentives are the tariffs and trade negotiations. This has been rehashed over and over and over in this thread so forgive me if I sound annoyed or am curt.
Sadly I think its gonna take an act of congress to remove all the Obama level crap that is required in cars now that add like 10K to the cost with the backup cameras and other safety requirements.
