Trump on his Mao shyt
U.S. Secretary of Commerce: "The ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids."

Didn't read the OP but if they're going to actually bring those types of jobs back to the USA they won't look the same as they did in the past. The Mechatronics industry will see a big boom. That's something if you have a young family member not sure what they want to do you can mention Mechatronics to them it's one option out of many. Think you can get certified in like a year or so.
They tryan turn you all and your generations in to chimney sweeps on some Oliver Twist flex.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
We're not talking about the last admin, nor did they have grandiose overarching plans that impacted every industry.
Every industry has a time horizon and a sunset. Trump is building an 1890s economy. And he is going to fail at building that. Because high-paying and 1890s factory jobs are oxymorons.
My statement stands. None of my statement is incorrect or hyperbole. He nor anyone on his team is a SME. They don't even have a plan. They know what sounds good to an increasingly isolated segment of the US.
Exactly shut up.

p*ssy, don't quote me then.
Blue collar jobs created the middle class.
TV created the fantasy that everyone could live an upper class lifestyle.
Reality is, there’s nothing wrong with getting your hands dirty and living a lifestyle within those means.
Easy times create soft men. Times are getting tougher and men will need to learn to toughen up.

Brace yourself—if we reshored a significant chunk of manufacturing to the U.S., costs of goods in America would almost certainly rise, though how sharply depends on which sector, how fast the transition happens, and whether policy cushions the blow.

Key Cost Drivers of Reshoring:
1. Labor Costs
U.S. factory wages are 3x–10x higher than in China, Mexico, Vietnam.
Even with automation, unit labor costs would increase, especially in consumer goods.
Effect:
Apparel, electronics, tools, appliances: +15% to +40% in retail price if made here without subsidies.
---
2. Energy & Compliance
U.S. factories face stricter environmental and labor standards, plus higher energy costs.
OSHA, EPA, and labor rules add operational costs that are often ignored or minimal overseas.
Effect:
Products become safer and cleaner—but costlier to make.
---
3. Reduced Global Supply Chain Efficiencies
Rebuilding domestic supply chains takes time. Economies of scale may be lost.
Until networks mature, materials and components might cost more domestically.
Effect:
Expect initial cost spikes for items like electronics, machinery, and automotive parts.
---
4. Tariffs and Protectionist Measures (if applied)
U.S. may slap tariffs on foreign imports to shield reshored industries.
That would inflate prices not just on foreign goods—but also domestic ones, due to reduced price competition.
---
Net Impact on Cost of Goods Index (CGI):
SectorEst. Cost IncreaseNotes
Apparel & Footwear+20% to +40%Highly labor-dependent
Electronics & Phones+10% to +25%Complex supply chains
Cars & Machinery+5% to +15%Already partially reshored
Food & Household0% to +5%Less offshore-dependent
Pharmaceuticals+5% to +10%If API reshoring occurs
---
Consumer Inflation Outlook:
Short-term inflation would likely rise 1–2 percentage points above baseline.
Over time, automation and domestic competition could stabilize prices, but not roll them back to pre-reshoring levels.
---
Bottom Line:
Reshoring = more expensive goods, at least initially. Unless paired with tech-driven productivity and smart policy (tax credits, training, infrastructure), it’s a trade-off: job security and sovereignty vs. cheap prices.

“We’re going to get these H1B Indians and computers that we don’t even understand how they work, and we gonna get rid of those jobs and bring Americans factor working jobs that we want generations of their families to work at (without unions) and make peanuts..”
A US Company my moms works for just laid off their US staff (that she trained) and asked her to train highly unqualified Indian staff they hired to replace them in 1/3 of the time. No other reason to do it but to cut costs starting with the workers. .
So yeah.. when this shyt blows up in their face once again. People got to understand this is a play. They want Americans (poor and minorities) back in manufacturing plants while outsourcing services to cheap and unqualified laborers overseas.

What was that and where are the factories?
We have the land, capital, man power and access to raw materials to compete with China or anyone else in all facets of manufacturing.
Our politicians sold off all our real jobs and now Americans think you either have to go to college, become an entrepreneur, or a criminal in order to have a nice stable life (see the retard above me) and this country was not set up to operate like that.
not anymore it wont
tuckgod is an annoying idiot. Don't pay him any attention.
