But will the new factory have suicide nets around it?

They’re trying to come up with a negative way to spin the story that this manufacturer is going to invest 70 BILLION dollars in new operations in the US. It’s good news trying to look bad.

None of these globalist douche bags would be on shoring if President Trump didn’t threaten them with a tariff which he should do anyway.

This is good news, but do remember that this factory will have far fewer jobs than one might expect -- these will be higher paying, higher skilled jobs, but far fewer.
As Automation increases, the comparative cheaper labor advantage disappears. Even China is losing manufacturing jobs.
Net, net, celebrate, but this is not going to deliver a lot of jobs -- we need to remember that

That is true.
And it is better for the jobs to be in the USA.
What I am saying is that people who think this is the 50s or 60s where non-engineers/technicians can make good money in manufacturing -- those days are gone.
One needs to be highly skilled to get a job in manufacturing these days.

The issue of automation and offshoring have nothing to do with each other. A closed and leveled factory was not automated. Somewhere, probably in the 3rd world, a factory is making that same product.
