Yet, they are going to re-industrialize and "bring manufacturing back" at these kinds of times in their dreams.
(And the expensive USD is just one of the reasons why it is impossible now. High labor costs, lack of raw materials and industrial ecosystems, poor infrastructure and education, etc, are some of the other ones, but that is beside the point of this...)
So, as they are incapable of being competitive in manufacturing against China, we know by using common sense,
Every stupid tariff, like the ones Trump suggests, means their citizens are just taxed and pay more, more inflation,
As there are no alternatives to Chinese advanced and cost-efficient goods - so they would still need to buy those.
Or it will be rerouted to some other country, to avoid tariffs, but they also take a cut, and raise the price.
Or China now simply raises the price of raw materials, components, and industrial machinery,
Required for you to assemble your own stuff after you ban theirs. (Yes, most you can do without them is bare assembly now).
So stupid politicians bid to score some political points, and appear "strong" would only backfire once again.
That means even higher interest rates to combat it, and even fewer chances to be competitive against China.
I don't get it how so many smart people still hold some hope for US manufacturing, and the US in general.
This is regarding the nationwide, military-style attack and beatdown of those students.
The US has very little hard power left, one of the most impoverished countries on Earth, Chad, Niger, Yemen, Syria, and Iraq slap them in the face hard on daily and don't fear them at all, basically throwing their bases out of their countries without any fear,
Or straight up defeat them militarily and force them to sue for peace (Like Houthis).
But, even their global media-led soft power domination has ended now thanks to Israel.
Meanwhile, Russia showed to the whole world how overhyped and unfit for real military application the Western equipment generally is,
It is designed as an expensive with only profit in mind, meaning making it as expensive, and inefficient as possible, one that would require constant maintenance to work.
"Shiny" as much as possible, but, not that much practical, maybe best for Hollywood movies and YouTube videos.
That's what happens when private sector oligarchs run you and your military and weapon production instead of the state as in China & Russia.
That was on top of their weak production surge capability and military-industrial capability overall that Russia revealed to the whole world.
