What should we do?
Do you think Government should get involved because it's a Critical Industry?

Do you think Government should get involved because it's a Critical Industry?

The first thing we should do is stop buying into the moronic economy killing narrative that man is causing the planet to heat up and die.

Secondly, lower the massive amount of regulations that makes manufacturing anything competitively impossible.

Thirdly, RAISE tariffs on goods manufactured in third world shit holes that allow the exploitation of their citizens and environment.

Lastly, quit kowtowing to tyrannical Marxist regimes pretending that we are on a level playing field.

The electronics industry in the United States was destroyed by socialism in the form of fascism. It is not a 'knee jerk reaction'. It is what it is.
It simply became unprofitable to operate an electronics component manufacturing business under the current eco-laws. That's fascism, dude. The laws themselves are unconstitutional.

nope, as usual your drugs are making you delusional.

The Church of Global Warming is a fundamentalist style religion that denies science and mathematics. They discard the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law. This religion, like the Church of the Ozone Hole, the Church of Covid, and the Church of Green, all stem from the Church of Karl Marx. They WANT to destroy the economy so they can replace it with their own. What they don't see is that socialism requires capitalism to steal from. Only capitalism creates wealth. Socialism just steals it. They think that theft is a 'perfect' world and that printing worthless currency is the answer to everything.

Secondly, lower the massive amount of regulations that makes manufacturing anything competitively impossible.

Since they want to own the economy, they are not interested in competition.

Thirdly, RAISE tariffs on goods manufactured in third world shit holes that allow the exploitation of their citizens and environment.

There is no such thing as first, second, or third world anything. There is only one Earth. If you want to raise tariffs on nations that have government that exploit their citizens, you will have to raise tariffs on The Oligarchy in Washington DC, and the SOTC and SOTNY. They will have to tariff themselves.

Lastly, quit kowtowing to tyrannical Marxist regimes pretending that we are on a level playing field.

Quite right. Marxism describes constantly a 'level playing field' of some sort. In reality, all it means is putting The Elite into power (Biden is currently worth about $9 million, while Pelosi is currently worth $126 million) and spreading equal misery to everyone else. Neither Biden nor Pelosi have produced any wealth. Their entire career has been spent sponging off of taxpayers.

Yes. We are NOT on a 'level playing field'. Labor Costs are CHEAPER in Asia. That's why American Business moved the Industrial Base to Asia.

How bad is your state’s infrastructure?

https://infrastructurereportcard.org...nfrastructure/

Looking at this report, every Congress critter should be on board for passing the infrastructure bill.

This has to be, hands down, the dumbest “report card” I’ve ever seen . I randomly chose 21 states and not one got above a grade of C. Did any state even get a B? I’d bet not one received an A.
Now if this were a class of 50 students in an advanced class that would be statistically impossible.
I guess the creator of this report card considers us a third world country.
Conclusion: Bogus report. Fake news.

It is constitutionally authorized government intervention, but it is also cutting your own throat to install tariffs on an industry you don't have.

I didn't bring up putting 'Tariffs' on anything. That's Truth Detector, ... the so-called 'Free Trade Capitalist'.

Actually, you did. Denying your own argument only builds a paradox. It's irrational. At this point I'm willing to help you resolve this paradox by simply discarding your earlier argument and taking this one.

Capitalism isn't trade. Capitalism is simply people voluntarily providing goods and services, and others voluntarily buying them at a price agreed upon by both parties.
If a tax is involved as part of the costs, they are simply rolled into the price.

Someday you should study what price discovery is all about.
