    Don’t get depressed guys, as a small service business owner for nearly 40 years, it is probably easier now to start a small service business than when I started. You don’t need a secretary to answer the phone anymore, you don’t need a book keeper, there is tons of advice on the internet, and I have never seen so many effective ways to advertise and reach new customers. Even right after the GFC we still had business in the service business -repair, maintenance trades , I service chimneys, wood stoves, repair and clean every kind of vent imaginable, do lots of small brick and metal pipe repairs. There are tons of very needed services out there in demand.

      There are also opportunities for small niche market manufacturing- A young fellow that worked for me recently just teamed up with a parter with some sort of 3D milling machine they bought making custom parts and short production runs for the auto racing industry. I’m not saying you’re going to get super rich off these little businesses but you might, and you certainly can make a living at the very least. I made enough to be stable and have some security as I transition into a modest retirement- I don’t need as much as some because I’ve always been a DIY kinda of guy that is not dependent on others to keep my house, car or boat going.

    something that baffles me about almost every economic student/expert looks at the data from generations past, then looks at trade and manufacturing, and NEVER mentions doubling the labor pool within the time frame of about 10 years from 1972-1981. There's no coincidence that this was intentional, to drive labor costs down, as well as to create more taxpayer wage-slaves. Nobody talks about this reality and it's impact. It was a 12 Richter scale earthquake in the economic landscape, and nobody addresses it. As more women enter the workforce, get college degrees, and dilute the labor pool, wages go down, inflation goes up, and we all lose.

    If you have a group always pulling cash out of the system, costs go up.
    I get that the migrants drive down labour costs, but once these migrants are no longer on the public dime (on behalf of the corporations), their wages will not cover the cost of living in the US and Canada...then what? UBI will/is not an option in a debt based system; it's a short term propping up/hiding the loss of the middle class; but with a CBDC, and with 'spending' no longer organic (decided by the Oligarchs what YOU will be allowed to buy) the system collapses, natural law/human nature will make is so, plus such a society is brittle--not resiliency.

    Well to bring it back tariffs aren't really going to work and the reason being is because you have to already have this factories in existence in order for the tariff to even pretend work so a great example of this would be in the 1980s when Harley-Davidson petition was in President Ronald Reagan to launch tariffs against Japanese bikes basically all foreign bikes but specifically Japanese.
    So what you had was an American manufacturer of motorcycles in existence it did not stop Japanese bikes from coming in here but what it did was drive up the cost and the concept was that the higher price of the Japanese bike would force the American into considering the American bike for 5 minutes it pretended to work but that's just it it only works because Harley was here had Harley would have had most of their operations overseas kind of like they do now it wouldn't really work.
    If you offered up money to help build the factories kind of like in WW2 or production factories well yeah I mean you would be providing them with state-of-the-art free real estate and a manufacturing line to go with it they kind of couldn't refuse but there's still one major problem and that is simply they don't want to pay the American wage even if they got all of their equipment and of course that equipment is taxable it counts as inventory for those that don't know so even the spare parts like bearings for the fucking conveyor belt via the rollers for the conveyor belt yeah that's counted as inventory in their tax accordingly the mop and the bucket used to clean the bathroom yeah that's counted as inventory.
    Basically the concept of American manufacturing going overseas or even down south on this continent is not new Ford motor company attempted to do just that via Brazil over 80 to 90 years ago okay and they weren't the only company.
    The only way that I could see government intervention working to force them to once again actually become American companies stay that way is not through handouts or tariffs it's literally putting the hammer down on talking about how you will no longer be in America company if you do not maintain at least 98% of your fucking manufactured base here meaning you will get no tax write-offs in fact we will find you year over year serious money I mean we're talking a billion dollars per factory that you stick overseas I think of a fuck if it's Warehouse you're still paying a billion dollars unless of course that warehouse can be proven to be a receiver of products made here in the US so in other words if you're going to sell some cars in Europe than the warehouse that you have in Europe it is to receive cars from America if that's what it does then you're still in good standing you can have a factory over in Europe or down south but it's capacity of production cannot exceed what you were doing here at the states that's a little funny language but basically what I mean is simply you can make as much as much as you would like overseas but here's the problem you're actually going to have to rely on your American base so you're American bass has to maintain literally 98% of the products that you're going to distribute around the world if you can't do that then go fuck yourself you are no longer an American company and you will be treated as if you basically if your entire company is here on a work visa only we're going to come after you for all kinds of shit.
    Yeah I mean that's messy and the numbers that I've thrown around me sound pretty harsh but I don't see giving them bailout money and then they basically take that money and invest it in a bunch of foreign plants much like what happened when Trump took office remember he got pissed off at Harley-Davidson but he also got pissed off at GM basically he toyed with notion of trying to stop GM's bailout money basically found out somehow or another his hands were tied but then they immediately turn around and talk about how they're going to Mexico Harley-Davidson basically did the same thing they talked about how they're going down to South America and they're considering Europe.
    I'm saying that you'd have to create an environment where they really have no choice but to maintain the manufacturing base here in the States now that set that also means that the government would have to back off of a lot of foreign tariffs and the reason being is because you know those countries could strangle us right there.
    Basically have a lot of this tariff bullshit got started was imports that were frankly of better quality really started to pour in here in the 1970s our industry got comfortable where it was they did not want to change they whine to the government and said put a terrify the government agreed foreign governments then responded with tariffs on our goods if we could back off a lot of this tariffs and convince them to say and we're just going to put a short leash on our manufacturing base and if we could put a bit of pressure on them to do the same that would be a better approach especially if we could go around and open up new markets like for example if we could open up Cuba I don't understand why the fuck we're so against Cuba so they're communist so fucking what so is the Chinese and yet we've been trading with the Chinese for how many years people like 40 fucking years.
    No I certainly don't like communism anymore the next red blooded American but my problem is how is it that you can choose to trade with these communist bastards but then those communist bastards over there are like the Communist bastards of the Communist bastards of bastards???
    The only thing is when it comes to Cuba is we had better start making cars that are worth to shits those boys have a lot of forties and fifties American automobiles and even though they may have some duct taped and paper clipped to keep them going most of which ended up with lada engines bottom line is if they bought one of our typical pieces of shit today it wouldn't take them boys probably a year to figure out how shitty it really is compared to what America used to make I wouldn't doubt if half of them would be willing to send them back talking about how these are chunk that the Communists actually produced better cars they were more Hardy than what the fuck we're capable of producing today I mean one ride down the Cuban roads and I imagine that our cars are going to shake loose especially the electronics they never hold up.

    We had a good compromise idea with NAFTA not perfect solution at all but better than what actually happened- China basically weaponized their already lower costs and intercepted much of the manufacturing that we were hoping to be sort of a Mexican Central American South American USA commerce union. We also were the last nation standing that was not in ruins after WW2 which helped the US- We were already planning ahead (Breton woods) as early as the middle of WW2.

Although I agree a lot of the manufacturing we had here when I was a kid in the 1960s is never coming back on its own until the entire world reaches labor cost equivalents as other countries slowly over time become 1st world countries some day.

    Manufacturing jobs pretty much suck. I'd say let the third world do it but we need to encourage India to fix its problems so more manufacturing can be located there rather than in hostile countries. India and Latin America are ideal places to have manufacturing and we should be making investments there rather than China. For people who want to work with their hands there are the trades like plumber which are going nowhere. If you want you can have an office job such as accountant or engineer. Many major economists have warned that protectionism will cause more harm than good to the US economy.

      The "breadth" of the market is narrow these days, Nvidia can't carry the entire market. The market will eventually tank under the weight of the financial sector, which is badly underwater with loans on office buildings and pre rate hike low interest rate long treasury holdings.

The times of easy money are over folks. You are living in a fantasy world where right is wrong and wrong is gaslighted as right. History is forgotten and the same thing that happened to the Roman's 1500 years ago is happening again. The last Roman Emporer was an amoral Transvestite before the fall. Don’t believe me? Do your research. The world has ALWAYS been a wasteland. What to do? The ONLY thing to do is be the Hero of your own life. The Hero to your family and friends. Localism not globalism. Get away from large urban areas as fast as possible and start creating a life of self reliance and close personal ties to your community. Our so called "leaders" have failed us in a catastrophic way. They aren't my leaders. I'm leading my own life. And thriving. 45 year Craftsman in metal and wood. Husband, father , grandfather and loyal friend to those I trust. Good luck.
