Thanks, I enjoy the free sub, but was unable to offer feedback, e.g., the brief on the MAGA split over the H1-B visas was the first to penetrate my muddled mind. In the engineering trade, the H1-B visa dispute has been perennial, for decades of my working life. The flip side is that absent that cheap foreign labor, the remaining USA tech industry might necessarily move offshore and the few remaining engineering jobs collapse. To be globally competitive, the USA must reduce the overhead it imposes on business, e.g., bloated government supervision, senseless regulation, and taxes. The offshoring of manufacturing is an early indicator that engineering jobs are next.
I heard (forgive my forgetting the attribution) that the USA might compensate for its manufacturing incapacity using AI-augmented reconfigurable manufacturing. I suppose that's analogous to digital fabrication scaled up to entire manufacturing plants.
