Well, Kevin Ward did get fucked. So either one works.

Counterpoint.

I’d believe that except for the fact that consumers don’t seem to want non-Tesla electric cars. They want Tesla’s because of the brand cachet.

No, the question is, How did China build it’s manufacturing base? Once you understand that, you will understand why the steel industry is essential to keeping manufacturing in the US.

You think modular construction is a core problem? Most short span bridges are built that way.

Unemployment is low but so is the participation rate of working age people. There are millions of people in the US that would be willing to work if given the right opportunities.
