How long does this fuck think it takes to build a pharmaceutical or electronics plant? How you gonna source the materials dumass? Who do you think makes the equipment? You’re asking people to set up manufacturing and support infrastructure overnight, all the logistical integration…This man has a small child’s grasp on all of this shit.
You just aren’t ambitious and distruptive enough, below you can view my excellence plan.
Do it under tent light. Get a roller, flatten everything real nice. Setup a tent city near a stream so you can pump water in and industrial waste material out. Do it in a red state that will allow cheap child labor. Then hire any desperate people you can find for 50 cents over what the market rate is for unskilled labor to do the complicated stuff. When you make stuff, you shouldn’t care if the products are up to specifications or not, that could cost a lot of money to do perfectly. Only accept cash in advance. If some whiny customer tries to sue you, make sure to draw it out until all your current contracts are done. Then just dissolve the “company” pick a new name out of the hat and operate again tomorrow. Have sales people selling in advance under the next companies name. When buying any supplies that won’t be regularly needed, always fail to pay them, then tie them up in stupid contract disputes until you Phoenix yourself into a new company.
See his quote about no environmental delays, we don’t just have that stuff made over there because it’s cheaper. We also do it because of the environmental fallout from having such plants.
Also no way will we get Americans to do these jobs. Hell Apple plants hsve to have nets to keep employees from killing themselves. Also don’t they have to live at the plant?
Isn’t this why Americans are sent to prison? So they can provide free labour?
Hey look, environmental and labor rights issues aside, and not discounting that, if we want to make the United States a manufacturing powerhouse again I’m all for it but it requires actual central planning and investment ala Bernie Sanders, and it’s gonna take ten years.
Central planning is terrible… Bernie isn’t about that, he’s dialed in on next steps
Decentralized planning is better - don’t control from on high, support it being done as local as possible. Cast a wide net, Foster competition while forcing them to share their answers
Normalize fly by night operations, just not when Chinese nationals do it
