Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 30, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 30, 2020 Yep. Sorry TDS'ers. Too good for it not to get its own thread. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-51192999 In terms of new factories, the most recent statistics are for the second quarter of 2019. And compared with when President Trump took office, in 2017, there were roughly 12,000 more manufacturing establishments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted January 30, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 30, 2020 Most of these are small with less than 5 employees but technically his number is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted January 30, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 30, 2020 Also I commend those that started small (under 5 workers) facilities which most of these 12,000 are but let’s not kid ourselves and think that this will sustain an economic boom and employ hundreds of thousands going forward. This country needs large scale manufacturing that provides good paying jobs and hopefully that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have extremely low or even zero income tax on mfgs. We would be turning away a million new jobs a year. Would go a long ways at equaling out the wage and environmental costs that we have to compete against.
