20. And decades of Raygun-promoted "off-shoring"
Mon Sep 8, 2025, 03:34 PM

resulted in other countries "doing their own thing" and subsidizing the training of their own country's employees while we moved our manufacturing stuff overseas (while those nations came up with their own standards for construction and manufacturing locally).

Then most of the Voc-Tech high schools around the country were closed and shoulders were dusted off with immense satisfaction.

Biden TRIED subsidizing efforts HERE to bring this capability back home through passage of the CHIPS and Science Act and related laws, and of course, those laws (and the money associated with them) are being undone and ripped away by 45 as fast as they can torpedo them.
