People don’t really want to work in manufacturing.
Not because they do not like it, but because they have not experienced working in a well run modern facility with a management team that truly respects them.
Decades of denigrating the blue collar worker and sending jobs overseas drove terrible perceptions. We gotta correct it.
Saman Farid@samanfarid
Frank Luntz polled Americans: 80% say we need more manufacturing jobs. 25% say they'd personally want one. 2% work in factories. Every manufacturer I visit is hiring and can't fill the roles. The gap between what people say they want and what they actually do is where our customers live.
English
You are right. However, without policy change from DC then workforce development will not change trajectory.
Also, the quality of education is so poor now across the nation that at 18 so many that should be directed to vocational careers in manufacturing do not have the math and English skills required from a modern facility.

433,000 manufacturing jobs are open right now.
By 2030, up to 2.1 million roles could go unfilled.
Retiring workers are leaving. Automation is moving faster. Shops need people who can actually program, setup, troubleshoot, and make parts.
CNC, aerospace, medical, metalworking skilled labor is the bottleneck.
Robots won't fix this

Anduril is partnering with @KrakenTechGroup to deliver a fleet of small unmanned surface vehicles for the @USNavy.

@aphysicist The demand for tool makers is nuts - and will only get worse.
English
starlink was (and is) all about injection molding for housings. they launched these billboards in DETROIT to scoop up the best tool and die makers and export them to texas. wild stuff

How @elonmusk fixed Starlink: “Starlink was a mess. It was 10X too expensive and they were building 1/10 of how many they needed. Elon’s like I've had it. This is now the bottleneck. I'm fixing this. He grabs a team of engineers that he trusts and they fly up to Seattle. They fire the entire Starlink leadership team. They sit down in a war room and they start running the algorithm. •What is the first principles of satellite design? •How simple can we make this thing? •Why does this exist? •Why are these two things so far apart? •Why do we need this much energy? •Why do we need this manufacturing process? And over the course of a few months they make a two order of magnitude leap. These people had never encountered this design before, but just by applying the algorithm and working with maniacal urgency towards this extremely high design bar, they created this product that's now —if it was a standalone business —would be worth tens of billions of dollars [or more].”

📈 Condoms could rise 20–30% in price due to the Iran war
The world’s largest producer — Malaysia’s Karex, which makes one in five condoms globally and supplies brands like Durex and public health programs — has warned of price increases.
According to its CEO, the conflict has driven up costs for synthetic rubber, nitrile, silicone oil, aluminium foil and packaging, as well as logistics and energy.
Karex is already seeing higher demand, with buyers stockpiling amid supply disruptions.
If the situation doesn’t improve, prices could rise even further — and not just for Karex, as raw material and petrochemical issues are expected to affect other manufacturers too.

@scotttmaier Another 4-5 days and they might reverse course.

@67Designs Difficult to keep fighting when the highest levels of the USG refuse to help and want private capital to magically fix everything.
English
Just learned at the ASPR Industrial Summit that there is now a 2 year waiver for NBR, the raw material to make nitrile gloves.
Our domestic manufacturers are importing NBR and will soon not be able to source it due to the Strait of Hormuz closure.
English
@scotttmaier Excellent backgrounder for folks just discovering you and the authority you have in this domain. Keep fighting.
English
This pertains to the Make PPE in America Act. The law says that HHS, VA, and DHS must buy gloves both made in the US and made using US made raw material (NBR). The waiver allows those agencies to buy gloves made in the US from imported NBR.
With the SNS no longer stockpiling gloves, against the recommendation of having a 90 day supply per congressional testimony, the USG only directly buys about 1B gloves per year, which does not justify NBR production.
If the SNS were to stock 30B gloves (a 90 day supply) that would support multiple NBR facilities.
The doom loop for US medical manufacturing continues.

@ycombinator @Arzana_AI None of this is new or innovative.
English
American manufacturers waste billions on staff keying orders, building quotes, and chasing invoices.
@Arzana_AI's agents plug into your email and ERP to take over the grind.
Their customers quote 10x faster, cut data entry errors 70%, and save millions a year.
Congrats on the launch, @MarshKools & William!

@CalebChamberla6 @EV_Trapper People are just not understanding the inflation rolling through the US supply-chain!
English
@EV_Trapper No recent changes to our pricing model, but our automation updates material pricing regularly based on actual costs.

Man what happened to Oshcut? Their prices seem sky high now, but I placed the largest order EVER. They have annealed spring steel which we have to have....very critical. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think we are eventually going to get a water jet or something so we can cut our own material!
EV_Trapper@EV_Trapper
I just placed the largest sendcutsend order of my entire life! The future is unknown, but my direction is clear and I'm not scared!! The table is set and all that's left to do is for me to execute which is EASY!!! LETS GO BABY! 😍🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

L3Harris head of security came over and said “A Gov agency in suits will be over in 5 min to MAKE you leave”
fast forward 30 minutes we got to enjoy watching FIFI again with the cop that got called for us.
Oh, and the older gentleman on the bed of my truck? L3 employee 😂

@CalebChamberla6 The decline in the number of public companies is a dangerous thing.
We peaked around 1996.
English
I was super surprised to learn that there are only ~ 3700 public companies in the US...

OK. Messaging hit me differently. Would actually be great to see you and @NoramarkInc work together. Two young very social media savvy nextgen guys the U.S. needs. We need more collaboration. I can think of you both, plus @MFG_SMB and 2-3 more all with oars in the water and going in the same direction to reindustrialize.
English
@67Designs @noxmetals @Noramark The resource was simply highlighting some customers that do capabilities we do not. Was literally a list of 6 people. It's text only
English
I wrote this article purely because I feel I HAD to. Lots of phone calls to friends complaining that no one is talking about these within reindustrialization.
@noxmetals plus all of our customers require these companies over the next 10-20 years.
Too many people are focused on software only or these huge tech angles and defensibility. Tech and software are extremely important but execution of capacity is far more important.
These companies are extremely hard to start and do well - execution is literally everything so going to require relentless founders.
But they absolutely need to exist for America to win.
If you are interested in starting, joining, or funding (debt included) one of these ideas lmk.

In an interview I told the candidate her chronology was way off between what was on the paper and what she was saying.
She stopped after getting into blind alley after blind alley. Then said: “oh that’s on my customer service resume”.
It is all just BS by this stage. All fake believe such that it takes just 10 questions to peel open a candidate as a fraud. The trouble is they took up a slot that could have been by someone that did not use AI.
English
It depends.
There are people out there on the market searching for jobs that have an incredibly wide range of skills, experiences and interests.
They have the ability to meaningfully fill 10-20 entirely different positions.
A custom CV for each different position should be created to meaningfully reflect the RELEVANT experiences for the individual opening.
This is why generic CVs for everything are useless.
This is not “rewriting” or “inventing” experiences and skills. It is highlighting the relevant skills and experiences for the job.

@scotttmaier Yep, @ratwave is someone that deserves way more exposure than he is getting. He personal investment in this is very significant and he has champions.
