While you were busy smashing Civics in the eighties , and imposing import quotas ( oh how short memory is ) they went right around the idiocy....
lather, rinse repeat... |
Of course there is Kent State - Four Dead in Ohio

Automation is capital, look to see who owns the Equity and Intellectual property for Fanuc, KuKa, etc.....
I May have spent a couple of hundred million USD in a past life on Automation... big and small.... |
But there is certainly some mighty fine gear designed and mostly made here to replace Primaluna - Aesthetix, VTL, ARC.... the list is long |
Y’all get it, they will graduate more honors engineers than we will graduate Engineers in total.... |

An excellent book for those with a quasi open mind, well actually four books:
The Reckoning- David Halberstam ( Pulitzer winner, sadly he missed out on the Noble ) History of Ford and Nissan
The Machine that changed the World - Womak and Roos MIT ( I know not as smart as Liberty University) The sort of Kaizen and Toyota production system ( derived in part from Ford )
Factory Man - Furniture in NC and competing w China ( hint there is way )
Boom, Bust, Exodus - Chad Broughton - Maytag
sorry, none of these are Federalist Society coloring books....

How many Chinese Copyrights was Ivanka granted ? |
Oldhvymec is your reach out comment aimed at me ?
i think you misunderstood my comment - it should be interpreted as :
IF you are a small American manufacturing or technology company seeking to compete globally then reach out for free help.
My list of clients is long. I have yet to step into a factory from China to Germany to Chile to Russia to Waco ( Chrysler Airborne Technologies) ...Batesville Indiana, the list is long ( I have one of those million mule cards ) That the tools I have been blessed to receive, could not help.
hopefully you meant some other reach out... |
@oldhvymec I have Halibut and Smoked salmon, what ya got to barter ?
you missed my earlier ? |
A funny and true story...
because a promise is my bond, when a certain team achieved a goal they all got a monetary award and importantly to them a commemorative T shirt that they got a hand in designing the artwork.... they had two additional requests : a pocket AND Made in America....
They were all Union members, so naturally when we needed 3,300 T shirts, we reached out to the local to see where they sourced the contract negotiation shirts - they said “ not in the USA and pockets add a buck “...
so we search and found a made in USA pocket tee for $3 extra.... that’s the route we took...
draw your own conclusions but those shirts were loved....
and fun to deliver... |
But speaking of Kim, we seem to have embraced with zero progress I might add, the murderer of his half brother. Looks to me like the Art of the Deal dude got slow rolled right in the ditch.
Ditto with MSB and his bonesaw.

@ghasley First , thank you for your service ! What well thought out, passionate and articulate posts :-) pick one of those books and it will be on the way to you soon - a sort of barter of food for the mind
