The NHS in the UK is broke wait times are in months and years, DRs leaving in large numbers because they have gotten one raise ion 15 years. You pay higher taxes and a 14% VAT tax and its still broke. You also have low mean living standard. There is no mental health care fir minors you have to pay out of pocket for that. There is no dental. Need a knee replacement youll wait 6 months. Some surgeries wat 2 years. There is shortage of Drs.
That is more because of Brexit... UK stupidly decided to leave EU...
Quality of life is better in Europe and posted that many times...
Muslims control the government thats why they did nothing to help fight Iran.
Ha ha ... Which European Country of any significancy is run by a muslim...
Europe did nothing in Iran because it is a Isreali led Trump **** up... No Thanks...
Trump was pushing war crimes all weekend... He can **** himself if he thinks we are going near him...
Iran government maybe be pricks, they are pricks with no Nuclear program worth a shit...
European manufacturing is increasingly moving to the
United States
, driven by a combination of high energy costs in Europe and aggressive U.S. industrial policies. Major European companies have committed hundreds of billions of dollars in recent years to build or expand American facilities, seeking to "de-risk" from geopolitical instability and capitalize on American government incentives.

Key Drivers of the Move
- Energy Costs: Historically high gas and electricity prices in Europe, exacerbated by the loss of Russian energy supplies, make U.S. production significantly more economical for energy-intensive sectors like chemicals and steel.
- U.S. Incentives & Tariffs: The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and other recent policies offer massive subsidies for green tech and domestic production. Additionally, a new 15% general tariff on most European exports has prompted firms to move production stateside to maintain price competitiveness.
- Supply Chain Resilience: European manufacturers are prioritizing "geographical diversification" to be closer to their North American customer base and avoid trans-Atlantic shipping delays.

Major Recent Investments
Several high-profile European firms have announced major U.S. expansions to lessen the impact of trade barriers:
| | | |
| AstraZeneca | UK/Sweden | Pharmaceuticals | $50 billion for a new plant in Virginia and expansions in five other states. |
| Roche | Switzerland | Pharmaceuticals | $50 billion over five years, including a hub expansion in Indianapolis. |
| Novartis | Switzerland | Pharmaceuticals | $23 billion to build or expand ten facilities, creating 4,000 jobs. |
| Sanofi | France | Pharmaceuticals | $20 billion through 2030 for U.S. manufacturing and R&D. |
| CMA CGM | France | Logistics | $20 billion in shipping and logistics, adding 10,000 jobs. |
| Stellantis | Netherlands | Automotive | $13 billion to bring five new models to market and add 5,000 jobs in the Midwest. |
| Rolls-Royce | UK | Propulsion | $75 million to increase manufacturing in South Carolina. |
Europe couldn't fgive a ****...
Give you example from that list. I have been in the Novartis Manufacturing plant in Austria which would be like the one described to be built about. That plant is the largest producer of pills and powder outside China and India in the world.
They have one canteen. It has about 300 seats, total... Got it... All automated... Very few workers... Only 4% of Pharma Costs go into manufacturing...
That is why we laugh at Trump talking about the type of manufacturing jobs, he is ******* clueless
Impacted Regions
Manufacturing activity is particularly high in Southeastern and Midwestern states due to lower labor costs, business-friendly regulations, and faster permitting processes.
Wealth Management +1
- Alabama & Georgia: Hubs for European aerospace (Airbus) and automotive (Hyundai/Stellantis) sectors.
- South Carolina: A preferred destination for advanced manufacturing, including companies like Rolls-Royce.
- The Midwest: A core region for automotive investment and heavy machinery expansions.

Economic Trade-Offs
While this trend boosts U.S. employment (with international firms now employing roughly 7.9 million Americans), it has sparked fears of "de-industrialization" in Europe. European officials are responding with their own "Made in Europe" plans, such as the Industrial Accelerator Act, to try and retain their industrial base.

What are some emerging Europe
Countries and States are always competing for Jobs...
Look at the states who are getting jobs... They are poor ass states with access to major markets with no trade implications... Off course they do well, Romania did well when joining EU too, their wages were low and they were coming from lower standard of living...
Who the **** is putting Alabama as the best place to live, do you want to look at the stats?
I don't think you get it... Lower taxes and driving in low cost jobs is relatively easy... How about running a country where standard of living is high, people get paid well and want it to continue that way... High Government services, great infrastructure.... That is what Scandinavia is, what Ireland, Netherland and Germany are...
None of these want that much low skill manufacturing jobs anymore... It is not economical, China (Vietnam, India....) will alway beat you on a race to the bottom...
So thanks for showing us your ambitions but sorry, we are past that now... We are close to full employment, it is the quality of the jobs now...
We still do high tech manufacturing jobs like Medical Devices which very few can produce at the bang for buck...
I am sorry to say, MAGA really doesn't get it..
