Inspiring account on X. Challenges? Yes. However a Buy Then Build openness. We need more people jumping in.
Since I acquired my manufacturing biz at the end of 2022: 1) seller's son was hired as mechanic and he stole $25k of tools 2) next mechanic hire stole proprietary customer info and fled the state after my legal team issued a court order to return the info 3) sole sourced…
Location matters. You have to manufacture local and consume local as the geopolitical tectonic plates shift. Trying to change 30-40 years of the very opposite cultural narrative pushed by raiders, profs, economists and boards is proving impossible. So far. @charliekirk11
82% of all new tech jobs this year have gone to foreigners. American kids are being replaced by their cheaper counterparts from other nations. This is not sustainable and must stop immediately.
America was built by people who believed in making things, especially things that mattered. It’s time to bring that spirit back. Let’s bring our medicine supply home. Let’s rebuild the factories, rehire workers, and restore trust in the pill bottle again. tinyurl.com/eztkspvf
Deindustrialization in the US has been a consistent, steady trend since the 1950s.
We are excited to share this raw flight footage including take-off and landing, all with real sound. No special effects, no CGI, no AI, pure engineering. Enjoy the future! A fully functional real-world "speeder bike" that so far only existed in sci-fi movies is finally here.
Time to get these young men to work in the factories! “Young men aged 22–27 with recent degrees are now experiencing unemployment at the same rate as those without a college education.”
Unemployment is surging for recent grads: The unemployment rate for recent male graduates has jumped more than 2 percentage points over the last 12 months, to 7%, the highest since 2020. Outside the pandemic, this is the highest level in 13 years. By comparison, the…
Brennan, you are correct that I have written a lot about re-booting and recapitalizing our commercial industrial base. Much for people to read. For now the immediate issues at hand in the broad 'three legs on the stool' relate to: 1. Owning our supply-chains fully all the way…
The current love-fest with defense and military tech from the @reindsummit as reflected in the subsequent coverage in @TheFP @nytimes and the @MollySOShea Sourcery podcast has got to be put in context. 1. Approximately 4.84% of U.S. manufacturing falls under direct defense and…
Courage is often just a function of money. When money comes, weak men go silent and leave the less fortunate behind. The rare and truly courageous get more vocal with more money. Be courageous. Save the nation. Train the next generation. @shaunmmaguire @elonmusk
High point of @reindsummit for me personally was spending time with @ScrutineerLuca and connecting him to all the movers in the room. Honestly I’m a bit jealous of Lucas. I’d be a teacher if I had more courage. Nothing more selfless than investing in the next generation of…
This is an excellent post by @Berniverse42 and we encourage every SMB (whether a manufacturer like @67Designs or a manufacturing services vendor to read it fully. It is in long form for a very good reason. The topic is vital in a time of bizarre tariff application by @FedEx…
This is a pattern I’ve seen repeatedly in my research, and it’s a critical point for manufacturers, especially SMBs trying to scale, reindustrialize, or reposition themselves in uncertain markets. When tariffs, margin pressure, or component/material shortages hit, the knee-jerk…
Yep. Super nerdy watching Fisk arrivals into Oshkosh this afternoon. ATC is amazing. Have a great week to all our aviation clients there and inbound. See many of you at the end of the week!

By gosh is the US educational system broken. How can Europeans know from a high school education more about the WWII Pacific theater than Americans? Hint: every war is a resource war! In the lead-up to World War II, the United States and China collaborated to counter Japanese…
Amazing what a well thought out Industrial Policy can do over time. Western fixation on the [true] magic of compounding interest has nothing on the Chinese rolling 5-Year Industrial Policy. The greatest non-kinetic weapon that is immune to even AI is owning the supply-chain.
This sucks.
A real world example of tariffs on SMB manufacturing in America in July 2025. Our company @67Designs supplies beautifully engineered and US manufactured products to customers all around the world, but mainly here in the USA. For sure our exports help ease our deficit, just a…
