     @icedquinn I recall they stated to make some half assed attempt to build a factory in the USA but they fucked it up and abandoned it.

     @jamie well china actually hates us which would make that more reasonable. russia doesn't really hate us. we could probably get russians to make shit (how much do you trust computers made by slavs :blobcatterrified: it will work but at what cost)

     1. Doesn’t understand the problem
     2. Will do anything to avoid fixing anything real
     3. Thinks going to war with China is better

     @icedquinn @jamie There was also some trump era land grants/tax breaks for new factories to be built in pennsylvania and wisconsin(?) but those Ideas basically fizzled out after two-three years. It's like a larger scale version of when a town makes a big statement of reviving their economy with one new stream, and it doesn't even make it out of the meeting phase but a good chunk of money was still bandied about.
