US Manufacturing Plant Supply Chain Issues - Coronavirus | |

Or, at least it does on the ones that aren't cheap bootlegs. Quoting: GSB/LTD I should hope so. If the people in his administration and campaign couldn't see the ridiculousness of red MAGA hats having "Made in China" labels, then I bet they'd be the types into "Hope and Change" and "I'm With Her." All while cackling, when realizing the irony of the situtation, "We came, we saw, he got counterfeited." . found a pussy hat with your name in it at the local yard sale |

Quoting: ^TrInItY^ I think it would take 10 years to tool back up our manufacturing... Most of the equipment has been shipped to china long ago. Trinity, I own a small manufacturing company. When we need to expand production, we add workers and more shifts. That way the same electroplating tanks get used 24X7 instead of just 40 hours. BTW, my workers LOVE overtime and working weekends. Ambitious bunch. Electroplating is relatively easy to expand just by welding up bigger tanks and adding chemicals. Not rocket science. BTW, the chem plants in Houston can retool to create just about any chemical stock or organic material from hydrocarbons. I'll bet that at this moment a bunch of companies in Houston are searching the references for the formulas for common medications and specialty chemicals to create. The value/pound is enormous. Once I had to buy a special plating chemical from China, the only supplier. They quoted me $45/gram as if it was prime Peruvian! We can buy quality machine tools, some from here in the USA, some from Europe and Japan. Add machine tools, hoists, heat treat ovens, etc. and you can rapidly build manufacturing. Of course, older machines can be used as well. You would be surprised at what is in the "bone yards" of various companies. I have a lot of equipment sitting out in my cattle pasture on pallets right now. My parents were WWII generation. Mom worked almost every day of the war in Houston heat running a milling machine to turn out drill bits for Hughes. She put all her money into war bonds and finished the war as a moderately wealthy woman. She was a high school grad from a small town in Texas. Never learned to drive a car, but she ran a milling machine. We won WWII on a river of gasoline out of Texas. Pop joined up in 1941 and became a fighter pilot, later a navigator on bombers. They survived and had six kids. By taking extreme precautions, I think we can slow or stop the spread of the virus. My company will keep turning out parts as long as the workers survive. Ref security, I have my night shift lock the front gate. All workers know that I have no problem with them being armed even if they don't have a License to Carry. I have faith in our people and industry. Prez T can help most by FIRING bureaucrats, e.g., the incompetents at the CDC. The fish rots from the head down! Trump is the head....warned again 6 weeks ago that all travel stop in America! Did he stop air travel from China? Hell no! He was to worried about his glorious stock market....now he will lose not only that, but what’s left of America’s economy! This virus will either kill, hospitalize, or cause rampant fear in citizens, people will not be working and the Econ will grind to a halt! This event is just starting, covid-19 will last for years and years! Trump had no choice stop planes two months ago and kill the economy,or do it now and kill economy Could have contained the virus then, but now it’s too late! So don’t misrepresent facts.....he fucked the pooch, just admit it! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74520404 For all intents and purposes, Mexico is somewhat like that right now. That country's version of the US's Democrat Party has been dominant in Mexican politics for over 90 years. Think of the US if nothing but an endless round of Baracks, Hillarys, Bidens and Bernies had been in the presidency. The stuff of nightmares. However, all the liberalism in Mexico has managed to make it a wonderful, beautiful society, with low crime rates, little corruption, little misery, little despair. Sociopolitical liberalism tends to make people and places wonderful and beautiful. . |

He warned about relying on China for all these goods instead of doing the hard work here, having some pride in ourselves, and supplying our own needs.

If the virus doesn't get you society collapsing will... Wouldnt this be an opportunity for USA to fill in some of the gaps... Ie expand manufacturing to cover shortfall?? Any country NOW would be able to cash in to some extent?? Of course prices would go up!! I think it would take 10 years to tool back up our manufacturing... Most of the equipment has been shipped to china long ago. ten years?? Where did that come from? Obviously, building a car plant takes longer than an injection molding facility, but i set one of those up in under 6 months. When there is a fuckup of this magnitude, it really doesn't matter how long it takes. The important thing is to start Another factor in setting up a major manufacturing facility is in satisfying needless -and endless- federal regulations. The same regs that Trump has been trying to abolish for the past three years. Think he won't knock down a shitload of those as needed? |

Here's ONE thing I understand, Sport: your reality is another man's fantasy. In the "real" world, there are gears within gears within gears within gears and unless they all mesh the entire system grinds to a halt. Saying that he "lied to us" are just empty words unless you can prove it and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would find it enjoyable to see you try to do just that. Suggesting that President Trump magically knew about this impending crisis when he brokered those Chinese trade agreements is simply ludicrous but still somehow cemented in a superior mind like you imagine your own to be. At least our leader has tried for the past three years to make our country self-sustaining - what's your own pretty-boy Justine done for YOU? So, answer this: how many Chinese imports are floating around Canada right now and what makes you think for one second that your own nation won't shutter factories?
