Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Even Tim Cook mentionned it, the US doesn't have the amount of engineers it needs to move production to the US, it's simply impossible.
Tim Cook can eat a bag of rancid donkey dicks. The reason we 'don't have enough engineers', a point which I would emphatically argue, is because CEOs like Tim and companies like Apple vehemently refused to invest in domestic capabilities as they rushed to save money via Chinese outsourcing.
If we want "Tooling" Engineers, or any other specialty such as "Process Control", the answer is as always to pay them what they are worth and that's the rub; Timmie and his buddies don't want to pay the high salaries for these skills.
It's no more impossible than having enough world class software engineers. The United States in general, and Silicon Valley in particular, used to be the world leader in developing and attracting Engineering talent and the only reason we aren't anymore is because companies don't want to pay for it.
Well foreign engineers could come here, I'm sure they would feel very safe and welcome...
Guess that's on them for pricing people out of higher education...
No, it's that companies aren't willing to pay the salaries of engineers in the US. The US pumps out thousands of fresh engineers every year, but the starting salary of a new engineer in the US is $110k while the starting salary of new engineer in the UK is around $33k. In France it is closer to $75k.
And this isn't isolated to engineering, either. In the TV industry, they are finding it is cheaper to fly game show contestants to London to shoot a 30 min game show than it is to shoot it in the US.
