    I agree that trying to bring manufacturing capability is a huge deal. Economics aside people talk about private jets polluting like crazy, well every container ship belches smoke like the fucking fire navy. And there’s a lot of them

    Speaking of the navy there’s a concerning amount of missile components that are subcontracted to chinese companies

    But all that said if I was a company and I could hold out for 4 years I wouldn’t build facilities in the US. When the new admin comes in I bet they would remove tarrifs and those facilities become way less profitable

      It is sad that our country’s policies always change every 4-8 years or so. It is hard to chase long-term goals when politicians are only looking 4 years into the future. This is not a Trump problem but an inherent problem of our system.
