The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There's nothing inherently "liberal" about wanting certain strategic industries located in your country.

Please detail how you would have the PPE industry--produce in the US--and meet US demand for those items ALL THE TIME. Remember: This means US production of ALL the raw and semi-finished goods and materials that go into manufacturing PPE.

Tell us, precisely, what happened to the "surplus production capacity" once the Spankee Plague was declared as "over"? How long to *restart* that production if needed again?

Remember: I identified ALL these problems years ago--and what would happen.

Therefore, put on your "National Security" gear and tell us the solution. Or avoid it. You know it is impossible--even if the public SAY "WE WANT"--but does NOT want to PAY for it.
