Let's dare. All the swine shipping jobs to China, shilling for the CCP, and standing in the way of restoring America are traitors. Let's also treat traitors accordingly.
What a story! No doubt, manufacturing will return to the US with DJT at the helm! Thank you for sharing the story, Emerald. Shame on all those who did nothing to help maintain our small manufacturing jobs. The middle class will also return!
America has A LOT to turn around. Many operate upon the premise that local and federal environmental & labor laws are "reasonable" even though many are rarely ever revised or stricken.
Union labor, especially in the north makes light & heavy manufacturing difficult because presumptive labor costs weigh heavy on any startup. Don't want to knock any trade-members but, unless Americans get protectionist and accept the trade-offs that come with it, ANY base manufacturing here will be hard to build and harder to sustain.
Homeowners and NIMBY's especially are going to have to accept (AND embrace) fields of prosperity within sight of where they live & shop.
America's infrastructure has to be restored to support all this including not just better roads but nuclear power plants and clean coal. It's about cultural survival build out as well as smart for our national defense.
Great Britain, well, Britain, is about to shutter their last blast furnace. They will be defenseless being unable to smelt any kind of ore or scrap steel. They barely have the electrical output capacity to keep their sole blast furnace operating now.
This is all to true. The Chinese government CCP are thieves and liars, Their sons run the factories and the government own everything that is sent to China to be built or worked on.
We are fools for manufacturing there to make profits off of slave labour and have our ideas stolen.
China has not kept one contract they have signed in all the time they have been in the world trade organization. Ah maybe one.
I own the remnants of the technical side of Polaroid. I'd love to think that Trump is the hero of the small manufacturer or small business period but he only looks at the corporate / government partnership. The guy running the commerce department is a disaster. I'd bet a lot of money that most of these back to America deals will never happen. Nothing has been addressed from all the government interference, the vast amount of red tape just to run the business plus a lack of skilled employees. I have a large building. The local code guy said that I needed a permit to add a simple 110V circuit. My reaction wasn't pretty as I told him good luck.
If implemented the excessive tariffs will lead to my ultimate demise. For example, most of my base products are single source and not made in the US. So lets add another 25% to my cost structure.
The Delany story sounds like my life. We stay in business because I fund the business. At some point, it will be time to call it a day. I sure won't be waiting for a government bailout. Government promised ERC payments for companies that kept their employees working. Still waiting for that cash.
My uncle at Dow Chemical lived in Asia for about 13 years, lived in Tokyo, Hong Kong, & Seoul. He HATED doing business with the Chinese, begged Dow not to open trade with them, that the ink wouldn't be dry on a contract before the Chinese would be screwing you every way from Sunday. He saw NO FUTURE in dealing with them.
Treason doth never prosper,
What's the reason?
For if treason doth prosper
None dare call it treason.

Does the technical side include instant camera and film technology?
If so, do you know Adam Fuerst at Retrospekt - the leading internet seller of restored Polaroid cameras and new film packs? https://retrospekt.com/
I hope you are wrong, but I will be watching. You may have a point.
