Trump scolds the nation.

[dudmuck]

And Biden promised to cure cancer. Did you post about it when he failed?

keep it in contex, it was operation moonshot. He said we are going to cure cancer. the intent was to cut cancer in half by 2047.

Yes tariff the things you want to bring back home. But remember, Trump can **** us with this. Example. He's got a wife who makes Christmas ornaments. Made In America. So he tariffs the shit out of China so no one can afford to buy ornaments from China. Then Melania comes in and charges $90 for a ******* star that you put on top of the tree.

Trump is right. America is doing great. Corporate America. What about us?

Electronics? Maybe. Let's discuss it and then strategically decide if we should bring this back.

Arguments For Reshoring

• Supply Chain Resilience: Manufacturing domestically reduces reliance on complex, often vulnerable global supply chains, mitigating risks from geopolitical tensions, pandemics, or trade disruptions.
• National Security: A domestic manufacturing base for critical components like semiconductors is considered essential for national and economic security, ensuring the U.S. has a reliable supply for defense and other strategic industries.
• Innovation: Proximity between manufacturing facilities and research and development (R&D) centers fosters greater innovation and faster product development, allowing companies to leverage advancements in automation and AI more effectively.
• Quality Control & Oversight: Local production enables more stringent quality control, better communication, and closer oversight of the entire production process, reducing defects and ensuring products meet high standards.
• Job Creation: While modern factories are highly automated, an American manufacturing renaissance, particularly in high-tech sectors, would create skilled jobs in advanced technology, engineering, and construction, contributing to the domestic economy.
• Government Incentives: Legislation like the CHIPS and Science Act has already spurred billions of dollars in investments in semiconductor facilities, demonstrating strong government support for the move.

Arguments Against Reshoring/Challenges

• Higher Costs & Consumer Prices: The U.S. has significantly higher labor costs and stricter regulations compared to traditional manufacturing hubs. These increased costs would likely be passed on to consumers as higher prices for electronic goods.
• Established Ecosystems: The existing global electronics supply chain, particularly in Asia, is an intricate web of specialized suppliers, infrastructure, and skilled labor developed over decades. Rebuilding this entire ecosystem in the U.S. would be a massive, time-consuming, and costly undertaking.
• Labor Shortages & Skills Gap: Finding tens of thousands of skilled workers for modern, highly automated manufacturing roles is a challenge. Many workers may require significant retraining for these new types of jobs.
• Infrastructure Limitations: Current U.S. infrastructure, including the electrical grid and logistics networks, may not be adequate to support a massive, sudden influx of new, large-scale manufacturing facilities.
• Risk of Trade Disruptions: Cutting off trade entirely with major partners like China could disrupt the design and marketing side of U.S. tech companies that rely on the vast Chinese consumer market for profits.

In summary, there is a strong strategic and national security argument for bringing back at least some critical electronics manufacturing, especially in high-tech areas like semiconductors. However, achieving this at a large scale for all types of electronics is complex and would require substantial investment, time, and a societal willingness to potentially pay more for "Made in America" products.

I mostly agree with this post.

I mostly agree with this post.

You mostly agree with a work of fiction?

 

[braalian]

It was more of him bragging than scolding lol.

He was scolding America for not praising him enough

He’s a fat, petulant man-child throwing a tantrum on national tv

I agree it is something we should work towards.

It's very abnormal for a sitting president to interrupt national programming for a 20 minute campaign speech.

In fact, it's abuse of his office.

And Obama's approval rating in Dec of his first year of his second terms was 38%. Your point?

You have a quote from Trump for that, or are you just quoting your cult's masters?

When he was angrily shouting about his accomplishments was my first clue

 

[Blisterfinger]

It's the dementia talking.

They should keep him away from microphones.

That was Biden, and they did

SO you don't have a quote. Didn't think so. Sad.

 

[braalian]

They should keep Trump under wraps, too

Enough with doddering old men with their fingers on the button

Time for a maximum age limit for being POTUS

Trump is perfectly coherent.

He’s too old to be president

Obvious projection.

Biden actually suffers from dementia.

Who the **** cares about Biden anymore?

Trump shows no signs of dementia

Bullshit. It's almost constant now.

and Biden shows all of them.

Who the **** cares about Biden anymore?

I was showing to the person I was responding to that they were incorrect.

Bullshit. It's almost constant now.

Not really, Trump is perfectly coherent. Doing exactly as I would like

Who the **** cares about Biden anymore

Well it's not like we can't learn something from the biggest lie perpetrated on the American public ever. I suppose we could just gloss over it. You would like that.

I see. He might have been running two broadcasts that night.

 

[leftwinger]

That is wrong. While Trumps approval is 35%, any Democrats approval number has to be considered as well. People will vote for who they think will do a better job and consider the lesser of two evils.

HA HA! The dirty "middlers" won't. The MAC&CHEESe wing, your snippy trolling TDS hacks like YT or PEEKKK and at least 10 others.

They'd rather destroy the country to post....orange man bad! Look at me! I'm the smart one. I want mittens or Lezbo chainey cause deys' from Utah mormon country.
