I published a new public macro article about the complexities of the current attempt to re-shore some manufacturing to the United States:

Specifically, it dives into the energy capital and the human capital that needs to be re-accumulated in order for such a trend-change to be successful.

To visualize this situation, basically the U.S. industrial base increased for most of the 20th century but has spent the last two decades stagnating, which is increasingly becoming a talking point among politicians and corporations:

Ooh I'm excited to read this. Btw I'm not sure if you sent out an email for this new public newsletter!

After reading it, it seems a very logical and obvious conclusion. However, it was for me only after reading it… thank you!!

I appreciate that you’re putting time / energy into #Nostr. It’d be great if more of your ilk would do the same! Xitter is fiat garbage.

I could see the US reshoring some manufacturing jobs to prep for the kinetic phase of WWIII

Thank you Lyn

Well, there are now 30,000 truck drivers looking for work, if that helps?

Overlay Peak Oil Plots and you'd probably expect a lag in Prod per cap.

Been subscribed to your newsletter for a while now, follow u on Twitter, now here on nostr...just zapped u...my first zap ever lol. Still learning.

How long do you think this process of re-shoring would take?

Decades..?

It probably would have helped if politicians hadn't sold all our manufacturing capability to China for short-term profits, but hey, they all got rich so it's all good, huh?

Thanks for all your content, long time listener. Do you feel that bringing industries back into the US, while it moves to a more collective (hopefully not) government, will eliminate some of the free market economics that are available on the world stage? It seems great for "creating jobs" and patriotism, but the downside might be an increase in government overreach, if and when those industries come back to American land.
