Why manufacturing won't return to the U.S. - former CEO Motorola
Likely in areas that dominate the US economy; the service industries. No point training for an area with no jobs. That doesn't mean reshoring can't happen, but it's a longer process that takes 5-10 years to build the work force needed. You can shortcut the process through immigration, an area that the US, a nation of immigrants, enjoyed an advantage over Europe. Not only a steady pipeline, but also a workforce that is much more mobile than in the EU. The single market ought to mean a mobile workforce, but the opportunities open to a Portugeuse national in Helsinki are a lot different to a New Yorker scouting San Diego. And immigrants by definition are highly mobile; they will go where the work is. -

Why manufacturing won't return to the U.S. - former CEO Motorola
Its was back in the 1970s-80s. It was even worse than convicts and the homeless. Cryosan Inc used to harvest blood from dead Russians, relabel it as from Swedish donors, and flogged it to unsuspecting Canadians. A number of companies have been implicated in the contaminated blood products scandal; Abbott Labs, Armour (Revlon), Koate (Bayer), Hyland (Baxter) and others. In the mid 70s, there were warnings that the crap coming from the US was laden with Hepatitis, but these were ignored. On a personal note, my father, on loan from the British Army, was setting up the Bahraini Defence Forces blood service in the early 80s. The Bahrainis had been persuaded to buy American, rather than setting up a blood donation service; in the Gulf Arab culture, people were reluctant to donate blood. My dad, who was seeing what was happening in the UK NHS, and was getting wind of a new virus, was vociferous in his opposition. His solution was simple; fit, healthy squaddies were to be offered days off for donating blood. Plenty of support for that. So Bahrain escaped that. Many years later, I was researching HIV testing in Saudi Arabia, and discovered quite a significant rate, which was surprising, and a bit of a state secret there. it seems contaminated imported blood products were partially to blame. The US, Czechia, Germany, Austria and Hungary are now the only countries that allow people to sell their blood plasma. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/louisiana-teacher-seeks-survive-inflation-141633014.html https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Blood-Money/Kathleen-McLaughlin/9781797155395 -

Take back the Sanctuary DC and return it to the Feds...
The appeals continued through 2024. Only Trump is talking about DC crime. Anything but talking about raping kids. -

Trump and Putin: The meeting.
Do you remember that NATO increased spending after being jawboned during Trump’s first term? Do you remember Trump providing Ukraine with arms during his first term that the previous administration refused to provide? Do you remember those arms shipments being paused by the Biden Administration to appease Putin? Do you remember Trump sanctioning Russia in his first term, and the Biden Administration canceling those sanctions to appease Putin? It is good that Europe is arming up.- 1

Israel slaughters 5 more journalists
That someone criticizes someone or something they support, it does not mean they no longer support it. And if one wants to hide the fact that they support something, it would make sense that they would develop a social media presence that helps hide it. I’m not saying that’s what it is, but at the end of the day it proves nothing.
