@zanehengsperger No one does. Nor do they understand how important it is we have them with skilled people to run them.

The quality of help at @Lowes has stooped to an unacceptably low level.

@gak_pdx @WeaponOutfitter I’m glad people are finally waking up to this. Cost of ownership in the U.S. is too high. There’s very little incentive for people to open new shops and invest in capital expenditures here.

Let us count the China advantages here: 1- The material cost this shop 1/5th the global market rate because it is "sold" to them by the Chinese government (who uses Chinese government electricity to smelt it). 2- This shop has 0% interest, forgivable loans from Chinese state banks. 3- Their machines cost 1/3rd of what similar machines in the USA cost, primarily because the machines they run are ripped off copies of Japanese or German machines made domestically because there is no IP law. 3a- Free CAD/CAM seats because of that no IP law. 4- Vast swaths of the workforce are skilled at machining, basically their entire education is one big shop class. US machine shops need to train their own workers from scratch because we've fully de-industrialized. 5- You pay Chinese vendors upfront; so none of the Net 90 BS that crushes cash flow. 6- China subsidizes the shipping to the USA so these shops have direct access to the US market without anywhere near what market-rate logistics would cost. 7- Bigger shops in China don't have vast swaths of middle management for HR, accounting, compliance, safety, etc etc costing huge money and slowing everything down. No need to feed a bunch of VP level people who effectively do nothing. 8- China has a center of gravity about manufacturing that speeds everything up 5x. I need a dovetail cutter; I had to email for a quote, reply to the quote with a PO, and sit on my hands for 2 days while UPS shipped it. I need a dovetail cutter of any style in Shenzhen? It is in my hands within the hour. In the end, China made the state-level decision to support the rapid growth of the manufacturing sector, both for their direct economic needs and as a trade/strategic weapon. American machine shops are not competing 1:1 against China; they are competing against a nation-state strategic initiative that the US political class either does not recognize, or is complicit in allowing to be played against us. When you actually see how Chinese shops operate vs US shops; the US shops typically have significant technical and skill advantages! Where they get crushed is everything else.

@mavsmarie Non sequitur. The pentagon failing its audits has nothing to do with Artic security. FYI the U.S Medicaid budget is almost 65% larger than all of non-US nato spending combined.

@JacobDelaughter Maybe if the US focused on taking care of their actual citizens instead of their military it would be a better place to live! Btw the pentagon has failed how many of their last audits?

@mavsmarie Gee! I wonder why the nations the United States has subsidized for 50+ years would have such a high standard of living. No way it could be due to us paying for their defense! Gee!

@JacobDelaughter You know who has the best quality of life in the world? Denmark. It’s not about security. It’s bull shit. If that was the case, he would have campaigned on it. It’s just blatant American imperialism and NATO would end and they’ll tank the USD.

@mavsmarie The same NATO that couldn’t reach its 2% GDP requirement until after COVID? That NATO? The one American taxpayers has subsidized for its entirety? Yes, I’m aware.

@JacobDelaughter You do realize we’re part of NATO still? Same with Greenland since they’re part of Denmark? So if China or Russia attack Greenland, we still have power over them to protect it. It wouldn’t be any different if we take it over. If we take over Greenland, that’s the end of NATO

@mavsmarie I’m not one to criticize people’s ability to understand geopolitical moves so I won’t do that. However, it would benefit you to understand that America cannot think in 10 year increments. We have to have a long term strategy in the Arctic. Greenland is the centerpiece.

@JacobDelaughter Which is what Putin wants in the long term!!!! He doesn’t care about Greenland. He wants NATO gone; and if we do this, he wins. China doesn’t want it either by the way. That excuse of “oh the ice caps melting” won’t happen even in our lifetime. This is so stupid.

@mavsmarie Because Russia and China want it. The melting of the Northern ice caps opens a direct line from N. Russia to N. America. No other NATO ally can provide the level of defense we can.

@JacobDelaughter Give me one good reason why buying Greenland is worth it when millions just lost their healthcare and can’t afford it anymore? Especially when neither GL or Denmark want it, and the US has 100% full access for any military safety or Mining purposes.

@fatcvnt16 @R129159R @Rlufc96 You know this is not true, right? Sure they cross train… but to say SAS and SBS “train” the American Tier 1 units is simply false.

Just about everyone I saw walking at the course today was using a push cart. At what point do we declare young able bodied males using push carts an epidemic?
