Theis,
Could you explain that picture? I've been at the confluence of a creek and a river when one watershed got hammered with rain and the other didn't. It looks like that even in beautiful WV because of sediment. Your picture and the reference to jeans suggests that's dye in the water. Is that the case?

This is what will be in Stimulus 2,3,4,n+1... And it will be in the $Trillions. Call almost any County EDC in the USA and they are willing to negotiate tax abatements already if you are willing to sign up to a minimum number of jobs created.
It's about lack of level playing in international trade. the most costly part of industrial progress is the cost of R&D. Look at the pharmaceuticals- years of lab tests, trials to register a single medicine. On the other part of the ocean you see also a massive IP robbery combined with silent takeovers of crucial companies. or at least we see minority shareholdings of them in infrastructure, heavy industry etc. The fuyao glass factory document on Netflix is just an example. Look at what is going on in Germany.

The new iPhone's ringtone should be a slave laborer crying.
And you know what? I'd be on board with that type of stimulus. If we're going to run deficits of $1 trillion in normal years and who the fuck knows what this year, then we might as well be putting all that printed money into rebuilding manufacturing instead of stuffing even more money into the pockets of those leaches in the FIRE sector.
Fuyao Glass bought the empty GM Moraine assembly plant in Dayton. What I've heard goes on in that place.......and I'm local
Honestly what’s the point of maintaining “safe seas” for the last 50+ years if we don’t get shit out of it. Goods aren’t so cheap if the cost to transport is too high.
Just tell’em our debt is even now so shove it.
Fuck China! Last couple days, I've been installing new shelves in my pantry. Lag bolts I inherited from my Dad were made in USA, ran out before getting all the brackets in. Went to the hardware store yesterday, and all the lag bolts they carry are Made in China crap (along with the three lumber yards in town). Second one I installed, the damn head broke off, and that's driving them into soft pine with pre-drilled holes.
Fuck China!
Fuck China!
Fuck lag bolts in general.
Structural screws are where it's at. I've never found lumber good enough to break one.
I don't ever use lags for anything as they just break half the time.
The trick is getting everyone to buy in to that way of thinking. It would be nice if there were stores that were the complete opposite of walmart. Places that, when you walked in the door, everything there was American made. You wouldn't have to check the labels. Oh, a fella can dream.
American entrepreneurs could do a lot if they knew they wouldn't be punished by the govt for sticking their necks out. You know, that whole rich man bad shit. Pull foreign spending and use it here.
I agree with you, but try finding structural screws with a big head, and a short length, without special order. For example a large head #10 or 12 that is only 1" long, or a large head 3/8" equivalent that's only 2" long, impossible to find at most stores. If you want 4" long fasteners, no problem.
I really do like the Timberlock and GRK fasteners.
What a concept! A made in America store! Excellent idea! They would do awesome. I would make it a point to shop there first. Except for prescription drugs. Most of those are made in China?The trick is getting everyone to buy in to that way of thinking. It would be nice if there were stores that were the complete opposite of walmart.

If we had to spool up for another WW we'd be lucky if we could pull it off in 5 years.
The only thing China holds over our heads are Rare Earth Magnets.
I'm old enough to remember when it was shameful to buy anything that said "Made in Japan" on it.
I can still remember my father saying out loud in public "I won't have any of that Nip Shit in my house"
But of course, in my father's day they had Iron men and wooden ships, now we have wooden men and iron ships

And that's mainly because we allowed Magnaquench to get taken over by the Chinese. It would have been nice if we had blocked that transfer.
Funny thing during most scope talk conversations; people seen to always want as close as “American built” as possible. I’ve always wondered why a collective group such as us could have never organized, crunched investment numbers, and figured a way to make scopes here in the US at 100% in house. To include glass, cutting, and all the special hardware spec. I’m sure if it was a solid project with a good product in return said scope could possibly be authorized to wear the sniperhide brand logo. And boom, US company arises from the ashes.
I‘m positive its easier said than done and their would be huge obstacles to overcome.

Vortex AMG. Reticle is German, everything else is 100% USA.
I'm all for it if it uses the reticle of my choice and/or design.
I encourage you to do it, man. Capital will be cheaper than it will ever be in your lifetime in the next six months.
America built it's supply chain when America was isolationist. We came out of that era as a world powerhouse. Much like China has.
True words right here. At some point - and we ain't there yet - there will be production gear going for near-scrap prices. Saw it happen in 2009-10, and this crash will probably be worse.
Commercial real estate prices should drop nicely, too.
