that is to say, about ensuring the country can produce the things it needs during a time of conflict, and not relying on imports for essential technology. That seems to be a more likely reason for this specific push, but they always try to hide these things behind

"jobs"...ah...politics...sigh...,

You almost seem to be saying this like it is NOT a good primary reason for bringing manufacturing back to the US?

Per my other post, did you forget covid days?

It is a national security risk big time...especially with china who is openly antagonistic to the US.

Manufacturing jobs are gone. And good riddance

Nope...we need as much of the critical manufacturing as we can do in the US.

Did you forget the pandemic so quickly? We got a good glimpse at what a national security threat looks like when we depend on external nations (some openly hostile like china) for our products and raw materials ......

If you don't do it here...other nations have you by the balls....

.....and not in the good way.

they probably will demand a tax holiday to onshore money tax free for it to happen as well.

I'm all for that...let's get that cash back IN the US....have it flowing in our economy ......

And as far as iPhones made in the US...I wouldn't mind paying a premium for an US made iPhone....

Hell, right now, with most any purchase I DO see if there is a US company making things here and will save and pay extra to get US made goods...especially anything that is hand made these days,, like boots.

I'm liking the offerings from Nick's Boots....things like this I'm happy to pay extra for.

Well, those so called cops didn't do their job and I believe they faced the consequences..

But stats on daily lives in the US show WAY more crimes are stopped by a good guy with a gun...

Hell, a recent story about a guy running around in a Walmart I think it was...mass stabbing people was stopped in the parking lot by an armed citizen....who actually showed more restraint than most folks...held him at gunpoint and had him finally drop the knife.....rather than shoot him.

Good people defend themselves all the time by being a "good guy with a gun"....

Do you know how many trans athletes there are in the whole United States that are competing?

5. Five.

Even if that low number is correct...

That is 5 too many.

This is a zero tolerance subject.

Geez, I long for the days of common sense, what a short 10 or so years ago when you never heard this stupid bullshit being put forth for any type of serious consideration.

I know it is en vogue to trash on trans youth in organized sports. But how many actual, concrete examples of "men dominating their daughters sports" can you actually produce? I know it is not zero, but is it even as many as 10 trans girls below Division I NCAA level that are affecting outcomes in competition? And even if it was more than 10, I don't see how that qualifies as "suffering under the tyranny

Even 1 is too many
