As we attempt to re-Industrialize America, What Manufacturing do we WANT and are Able to do?

I don't work at the national labs anymore. In 2006 they DEI purged the workforce of 80% of the White Males. For our section of approx 700 employees, they RIF's 72 White Males. They advertised on the radio for our replacements, and had the gall to put in the audio text of the ads, "White Males need not apply".


Now, the labs don't get anything done, partly because they don't know how (the real work was dirty and hard, and had always been done by the subset of White-Males), and partly because the work was always done by the white males, and no one still there is willing to work on anything. The DEIs still all get paid, but nothing gets done.


The Nation is much less secure, because the Labs had real missions to accomplish... meh, they still get paid, so they don't care.


The funny thing is, they call it "Equity", when in reality, to get to "Equal outcomes", before they even started with the 2006 purges, they would have had to fire allot of the women and minorities, and hire White-men, to get to population proportional numbers.


It was never about equal outcomes, it was about exclusion.

A sedan with a 1000kg lithium-ion battery needs a new battery every 18months, which costs around $20K, and remediating the toxic goo leaking hulk takes enough electricity equivalent in gasoline to run the same size gasoline sedan for 10 years and add to that 50,000 gallons of fresh water.


We may not need horse shoes, but we badly need Liquid-Aire energy storage systems for EVs. Or flywheels. Or Capateries. Or Atmo-CO2 Synthetic Gasoline. Or some other new energy storage tech.

Yes, if you're sure about not needing too many horse shoes, there probably are other important things that we can make.

Work out the tech here and then build it elsewhere--not a good business model for the country.

This current tariff approach won't come near fixing it.
What will fix it are "meddlesome laws and regulations" that pigshit and his trumpanzees don't like.
 
I think one of the first things we need to do is start building merchant transport ships and the transportainers that get stacked on them.


Also, we need to build port facilities to take manufactured goods from rail and place it on the ships.


Also we need to revamp and ramp up our merchant Marine Trade Schools.

We need to build and upgrade our steel and aluminum mills. Except from the Swiss or Germans, imported metal is junk.

Agreed. And there are other new engineering materials beyond just those two.


Torlon is a type of Carbon Fiber reinforced plastic that is stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum.
