Its almost like disappearing the South Koreans that were here legally out of their GA plant in hopes to get more American manufacturing jobs was a bad idea.

Nah, I'm sure we will get plenty more foreign investment for new factories.

It’s was the attacks trump has made on his biggest trading partners that’s tanking sales.

Sigh yep. My career is in manufacturing and this dipshit keeps saying he'll bring more manufacturing then destroying the industry

He has a knack for this, does that to the oil industry as well

And the US is also in the process of losing a shitload of high-performing scientists and engineers, because they’re not amused by or optimistic about the trajectory of the country. That’s called brain drain. Ask Russia how that’s going for them.

I wanted to be an engineer after watching how its made religiously. I wanted to make everything. Turns out the only way to make money making things in the US is if they're intended to kill people.

Yeah. Within the past year, I’ve been employed at 3 different manufacturing jobs in 3 different industries that told me to get lost because they didn’t have the sales to afford to pay their employees.
