Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

“I’m gonna bring back manufacturing”

In order to do that you need people who are willing to trade for your manufactured goods.

What manufactured goods? What is even manufactured in the US anymore that anyone would be willing to buy?

i thought India made all the narcotics

Eh, depends. The American and Euro companies have massive factories there, but so do native Indian companies.

But pharmaceuticals are an "advanced" industry that tends to stay in-house. It's one of the few industries that stays in the country (like weapons). This isn't a global north/south split either. Brazil for instance, has a massive pharma industry. I guess it's just one of those important industries to keep once you reach a certain stage of development.

Not trying to be a pain in the ass, but I'm not sure what you mean by keeping it 'in-house'? My partner has been working for bio/pharma for the past 8 years or so. The companies she works for always contract with other companies, most of which are large pharmas outside the US. Seems to be a pretty collaborative industry due to the high cost of coming up with new drugs.

Ah, sorry. Bad English. I mean "in Country" maybe I should change it idk

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 5 days ago

oh, well still.. many biopharms work internationally as well.. again.. my partner's companies have all had international projects with varying other biopharmas all over the world but mostly in Europe
