That guy seemed a bit deluded, in thinking that his efforts could spark some long-term thinking. I get that he was trying to make a point, and raise alarms about how terrible it is trying to actually get something built in the US, but it took a certain amount of stubbornness to refuse defeat that you’ll take it to the point of using high-school kids to assemble everything and not professional manufacturers.
75 dollars for a grill brush lmao
When even the most patriotic, Made in USA fetishists try for years and in the end admit defeat.
Its nice to see they’re finally admitting it, and showing the patriots that yes, US manufacturing is outclassed.
Skill issue. I would simply have the state directly invest in tooling capacity in economically disadvantaged areas and incentivize industrial engineering through free vocational and educational programs with subsidized wages and free healthcare
It turns out that profit maximization is a really stupid fucking metric to allocate society’s resources
