Not sure. The US may become the leader again in transportation manufacturing just because globalization is slipping away.
Not unless you get a complete change in mindset you won't, because trying to maximise profit at the expense of everything else leads to producing just barely adequate stuff at a premium price. You need to ditch the thinking that leads to the cant of shareholder value being most important thing and that leaving money on the table is a crime against nature.
Adler was a German company, but they had American designers?
Sure, you have your 1940s german typewriter connected to the internet.
Last manual/traditional typewriters I saw were in the inmate library in a prison.
Of course ! Everyone knows that only Americans can design or make anything ! The rest of the world is just a bunch of losers, can't even build garbage bags ! Why, I read a story in Reader's Digest once which proved conclusively that Zulus couldn't even raise cattle without US help !
Skip has lost the plot, I am afraid
Well, it is a bit complicated...The car industry uses components that were designed quite a few years ago using chips that are kinda not very profitable to manufacture if quantities are low. So chip foundries were retooled to make profitable chips when demand for older chips dropped in 2020 and 2021. Returning to the lower-profit chips is a tug-of-war between chip makers and car makers. The chip makers are trying to force car companies and their suppliers to redesign the components with newer, more profitable chips, but the car companies are not budging. We will see who wins.
Are you here to troll without reading? Where did I say we need to put billions into fabs in the US making old chips? I said the car industry has a problem because they insist on using chips that chip makers do not want to retool to make in volumes. It is not worth putting billions into new fabs to make old chips. The suppliers are trying to arm-wrestle the OEMs to redesign their crap. The consumers would benefit from it, but it eats into the carmaker's profits. There is no shortage of chips for new designs because they can be made profitably. And the volume of the old chips would not make up for the profit difference. And we are not talking about basic chips like gates and counters, we are talking about microcontrollers, converters, etc. The car industry is using chips one or two generations out of the mainstream. The fabs where this is a current problem are in the Philipines and Malaysia; they want to move up the food chain.
Majority of the chips are made in Taiwan. And almost all the advanced chips are produced here as well.
Sure, and it'll work out about as well as the Harley project did. India sucks. Peddle this nonsense all you like, it flies in the face of reality. But don't let that stop you.
Why do you say this? The same was said about Japan and then China.
