It can be done if we make the commitment.
Somebody should tell Adam Smith.
This is one of issues with liberalism, they create so many rules and roadblocks, either thru legislation, rules by Administrative agencies and rogue Judges that nothing important gets done.
We can’t build drones because of rules and regulations, power generation plants either gas or nuclear take years and cost billions, military equipment can’t get built efficiently, nothing can be built or can’t be built cost effectively.
A few aggressive, patriotic businessmen could fix that in 6-12 months.
The root of the problem is a nearly extinct domestic manufacturing base, leaving the U.S. unable to produce _____ at scale without relying on Chinese components.
That’s because the US gov’t has over-taxed and over-regulated the US economy. Look what happened in Chile and Ireland when they cut businesses taxes—their economies exploded with growth rates unseen in other countries. Yet, Leftist say: “Tax the corporations!”. Where do these dolts think the corporations get the money to pay those taxes? It from the consumer, you idiot! Cut the tax rates and watch the companies grow as they hire more new workers. And with that comes economic growth as the economic pie grows. And with a growing economy, even if your slice of the pie stays the same, it’s now a larger pie and you enjoy a rising standard of living. But, since that’s a good thing, the Left will fight it to the death.
"...a non-ideological lens. That means we publish all ideas and analyses–we are not a ‘conservative’ or ‘progressive’ website."Sorry mate. I'm most assuredly "ideological" and conservative.
I'm not so sure about that. Mike Rowe has a series on Fox, "How America Works," and one episode was made at ChannelLock, Inc. I am certain that the expertise exists and only needs the appropriate investment to make happen.
BTW, has Mike received the Medal of Freedom? He certainly deserves it.
Perhaps we could send a team over to a drone factory in Ukraine to see how it’s done.
Any war between AMerica and China will be decided by who can make the most drones both fast and cheap. The quality of the drone will be important to an extent. But quality can be overridden by price and speed to quantity. If I can make them fast I can give every solder a number of drones. I can swarm my opponent. I can see everything. If I can do it cheaply I don’t worry about priorities. Its not a tank or drone its both. And drones are a quick delivery method for many attack techs. I need a gun, or a laser, or a camera, or a missile, or a bomb, I can do it with a drone. Or I can do it with lots of drones. The biggest issue is battery tech. Smaller lighter is best. Right now china can make more faster, higher quality and cheaper than we can by about a thousand fold. Thats a problem.
It’s unimportant where the chip capacitors are made than the microcomputer and the software that control it are “made”.
Oversimplification.
America’s best and brightest are all going into either Wall Street and America’s bloated, debt-fed financialization industry, or social-media and what is effectively tracking/marketing software.
In Russia and China, their young engineers are sent to industries that produce things.
Sorry to break it to everyone, but that will never be fixed under our present fiat, debt-based, Federal Reserve monetary system.
Y’all dance around this!
America’s problem is Democrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We fought a war with them, we beat them, a man foolishly
forgave them, they killed him, and now we have to deal with them again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To fix our problem, we just need to convince a small proportion of our population to leave.
Liberal white women and a few black liberals.
Then we “re-man” our Media and all our lives will be improved.
Are Y’all smart enough to catch how easy my solution is?
Don’t tell Palmer Lucky.
He doesn’t realize that we can’t make drones in the USA.

“”The root of the problem is a nearly extinct domestic manufacturing base, leaving the U.S.””
The root of the problem is leftist Democrats... ie the Marxist liars that have driven manufacturing out of the country via labor unions, demanding higher and higher wages, their war on corporate America, and via stifling regulations, along with their stupid green energy BS. All done to aid and abet their real loyalties... which does not include the USA. Unless or until these cretins are dealt with appropriately... the problem will persist.
Trump is trying, but he is getting resistance even from those supposedly on his side. We need to fix that, somehow, some way. Making the stupid half of America aware of these issues would be a good start.
I’m sure my great-grandma (born 1890’s) thought airplanes were impossible, not to mention people landing on the moon.
Surely with modern CNC equipment, tooling and dies can be made with extreme efficiency. Additionally, plastic injection molding has come a long way.
