Tariffs are meant to equalize playing field on a country that has undervalued currency compared to the US dollar. You can make innovations, but that doesn't mean anything when a competing country can take those innovations and use their relatively cheaper labor force (in US dollars) and make it cheaper (it's why we can automate many different processes, yet so much is still made in third world countries, because their labor is THAT cheap). This ends up being a problem of national security when other countries become so much cheaper that it makes competition within the country impossible to stay in business. Then when there is no in house competition to keep other country competition in check, your country has an unnatural dependence on another country. This was what happened with chip manufacturing into Taiwan. All chip manufacturing was insanely cheaper to do in Taiwan, and then our own infrastructure development was neglected because it couldn't compete being manufactured by US citizens. Now 92% of the high end chip manufacturing is made by Taiwan, and if anything happens to them (geopolitically, environmentally), the industry collapses. Building a chip fab is an expensive emergency response highlighted by what happened in 2020, and will either end in federal tax dollars subsidizing the business indefinitely (due to more expensive US labor), or we tariff the chips to bring the Taiwan chips up to the same price as what we can produce in house with our labor wages. Nothing about gouging other countries, it's about equalizing playing field between countries with different valued currencies (which China intentionally devalues their own currency because of this to try and foster more dependency on Chinese manufacturing).

To be fair with the tariffs they were meant to be paired with heavy ones across the entire Chinese industry, so you would be incentivesed to not buy their parts or foreign materials, thus driving demand for domestic materials and products up, but we have sadly taken away most of those to appeal to the ccp and left the high tariffs on steel and aluminum in place probably for the same reason, kinda does the opposite when you do that

Wrong, small shops have historically contributed significantly to many devices including Super computers. Cray computing was 13 people(including the janitor) only one person had a PHD(and he had a junior role). I have ran a hackerspace since 2010(when no one knew what a makerspace was). We've made prototypes for tank tread wheelchairs and over a couple other dozen things which have made it to market. I'm a dad in a traditional and strong family and I live under the hackerspace. It's not getting much more "mom and pop" than that. You're right that we're not prototyping 1nm chips(or any chips) and that the industry isn't interested in repair. However, we've made contributions to a few additive and subtractive manufacturing and an emergent energy device. I... I just don't know what to do with the tech. I've seen 100% of our innovations get destroyed in the market by Temu-based knock offs.... if the USA patent trolls don't get ya', the Chinese third shifters will. This makes me mad and I'm young enough to get even.

Thank you for asking about the small machine shops. Its unfortunate that she side stepped the question but it means a lot that you at least threw it out there because we need help too. We cant build the machines of the future if we don't have the tools at the small shop level to grow.

They make over 500 aircraft a year, Those aircraft Are insainly reliable for what they are. Lets do some quick math. The average car gets about 175,000 miles on it before needing major work if its maintenance was average quality. Lets assume the average speed you drive your car its whole life is 35mph just to be safe. That means you car would have about 5000 hours on it by the time its going to start failing. The average 747 does 170,000 hours of flight time in its life. And when one of them has a problem it hits the news. There are over 35,000 commercial airlines being used at all times. For you to only hear about 4 - 5 failures a year is crazy on the scale this all is.

I live in Sweden. I to struggle with some of the same issues as you in US. As long I want to build a house or something involving tee its fine but as soon as you want to create something involving metal, automation or robotics. Then it's super hard to get the parts I need. Tangent: Back in the 70's the company Clas Ohlson had a catalogue with the items they sold and in the end they provided plans for how to build boats, go carts and other projects with the items in the catalogue.

The whole idea of getting robust manufacturing chains, IMO, kinda died out with the death of Sear's and the transfer of their tool manufacturing to China. It might sound odd at first, but when you consider that the US is now getting on to about a decade to two decades of outsourcing screws, wires, screws, etc. to China (beyond just hand and power tools as one might expect from Sears), we've had an entire generation of C-corps ignore what economic boons those small and possibly interchangeable parts could have provided as factories stateside. Outside of medical devices and computer fabs, it might turn out that firearms (thanks to 922r) might be one of the few things we manufacture consistently at home; the quality even for those are "good enough" at best when you realize even companies in that industry still outsource as many parts as possible and it took nearly a decade for one of the biggest state-side manufacturers (Palmetto) to finally nail down tolerances for their most popular designs. We'd essentially have to build back that level of competency for similar amounts of time here in the States if the US wanted to start today on making parts for electronic goods (especially including those little wires and screws), but I don't think C-corps have any financial reason to do so. It also doesn't help that it's become common practice to purge skilled labor and exaggerate huge growth within the corporate world (in both public and private equity) -- things that run counter to the slow and steady progress we'd need to instill confidence in our own manufacturing capabilities.

@@meepk633 what records.. and I didn't mention Biden.

I'm more of a fan of government simply getting out of the way through deregulation and less taxation (or less inflation, which is another form of taxation). When the government subsidizes industry, it might SOUND good, and might have some good benefits in the short term, but taxation ensures there is not a positive feedback loop of incentives, i.e. price ceilings become high and the most efficient, effective, value producing companies are not guaranteed to succeed, and inefficient ones are often fed instead. If the government REALLY wants to foster innovations, it should get out of the way and better enable average people to pursue their ideas and start businesses. That all being said we spend countless billions in tax money on mass surveillance, senseless wars, and other unfathomably wasteful endeavors, so subsidizing industry is not the WORST thing we spend tax money on.

Just election year things

So much for "all viewpoints welcome" when you're actively hiding comments in minutes a day after the video came out. You know you're in the wrong when you have to suppress criticism.

You can see the pinned comment for what we're moderating versus what we're leaving up. Criticism is totally welcome.

So I'll try to sum up the issues with this video in a single comment, without getting into the useless "oh you're a leftist" argument. I believe this wasn't intentional by you, but this video comes off as a campaign ad for the Biden administration, which has one of the lowest approval ratings in US history. Not only because of the timing of the video, but the intentional defense and mischaracterizations of Biden's failed policies by Arati Prabhakar. I personally don't care about your personal political leanings, but it comes off as tone-deaf to release a video like this that flies in the face of the current reality of the US. 0:54 "President Biden loves to talk about how America as a country can be defined in a single word - 'possibilities'." This sounds like a positive message at face value, but if you dig deeper, it comes off as a bit of a spit in the face. Biden has been caught numerous times reading word-for-word from teleprompters, even reading words in brackets such as "pause". It is obvious that Biden has people in the background feeding him lines constantly, and that he's not really the one leading the country. Not even trying to get conspiratorial, just watch his speeches and count the lies and mis-speaks when he goes off-script. 1:57 "...they are able to do that because of other big things that the president has gotten done like the Inflation Reduction Act." The country is currently drowning in debt, and inflation is at an all-time-high, and this being greatly exacerbated by the current administration. We are borrowing money at record rates, and printing it to re-pay it. Our taxes are not going to American innovation, they are going overseas - whether it's to Ukraine, Israel, China, etc. This is regardless of political leanings, you can plainly see that our tax money is being misappropriated, and in many cases is being siphoned by bad-actors in the federal government. Just look at the salaries of certain government officials compared to their net worth. This entirely contradicts the above quote. 4:03 "...You can't have a mom and pop shop build a leading-edge semiconductor." True, however you can't have a mom and pop shop in pretty much any capacity when the middle class is being taxed and inflated out of existence. She was probably thinking about that when she completely sidestepped the question and continued on about the large fabs. The middle class is the backbone of America when it comes to innovation, but we're seeing a huge decrease in this as a direct result of Biden's actions, and inactions. I don't believe that you intentionally tried to push an agenda with this video, but that's what it comes off as when you signal-boost people from this administration that clearly are. There are plenty of other points to be made but I'm not trying to write an entire essay in a comment section. I enjoy your videos and will continue watching them, but as shown by the current dislike ratio, many others may not do the same. Please let me know if you want me to dive further into some of these points in the replies, I'm not trying to start a useless argument like a lot of people in this comment section, I'm simply trying to start a real conversation about why many people have such an issue with this video.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment! It's definitely a fair criticism that this comes across as a campaign ad simply through signal boosting messages and policies from the current administration. It wasn't my goal, but I do get your point, and I think it's a valid one. Responding to your specific points: - Specifics aside, honestly, I'd like to see an upper age limit for presidential candidates and perhaps all politicians. I don't think having presidents in their late 70s and early 80s makes a lot of sense. Secondly, I agree with you - I think American politics tends to overrepresent the impact of the president on the setting and implementation of the policies of the administration, in the same way we tend to overrepresent the impact of a CEO on a company's products and policies. Ultimately they set direction and "get the right people on and off the bus", but for both the president and CEOs, there's simply WAY too much for one person to handle. - Yep, I largely agree with you here. I think we might disagree about some of the causes and specifics and what to do to fix it, but in broad strokes, I think we're on the same page. - Yep! I was disappointed by her answer. I just don't think she had a better one, or I would have dug deeper. I think off camera I did, and someone told me to go talk to Joda about the Regional Innovation Engines, which does feel like a step in the right direction. I appreciate the feedback, and that you took time to write a nuanced comment.

I meant to add: I mentioned on another comment that if I got a similar invite from a different conservative administration that I would likely go and make a video about it. While I definitely do get your point about signal boosting the current administration, I think it's interesting and important to hear about these types of policies regardless of who's making them.

Honestly I really dislike that politics is getting smart about Influencer marketing. Especially because they get to use their viewed importance for free ads. We are here for your views and insights into topics. Things like the softball interview with the white house director felt like you were being instrumentalized. Especially because she sidestepped even the smallest edge to your questions. Which is why inteviewing people in politics is so vapid whitout critical analysis. Inteviews with Scientistst, engineers and other experts are so much better because they dont have the media training to do the political talk of saying nothing while propagandizing. I am leftist too. So I do like the biden administration more than the alternative. But this felt bad. You could have cut out the interview with her and shared some impressions from the event instead. Or doing a critical deep dive into the current policies and their effect. You dont own them good coverage just because they invited you.

For America to be successful at competing w/ Asia, we need the poor to be more poor, and the middle class to have more reward. Plus, better education all around. Especially in the poor areas, where we need the low cost labor to come from. It would require a MASSIVE change to our society. All schools should have equal funding and curriculum. The poor should be so poor, they can't afford to sit around and watch cable TV and surf the web on their cell phones for 16 hours a day. And then when they are working, they need a real opportunity to progress to higher paying jobs, if they're a good employee. Enough reward to keep them happy doing their factory job. America had all of this last century. My father grew up poor in the 40's and 50's. Got a factory job. Worked his way up to management. Retired a millionaire. Sent me to private school, first generation to go to college, and I started my own IT firm in the 90's... Good times!!! American Dream Accomplished. And, that was a typical story for someone my age.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

@@StrangeParts massive subsidies for small to medium size manufacturing shops that specialize in certain key areas. Subsidize digitalization and process improvements of existing shops, same as in europe, smaller shops are not really well equipped to be effective and quick about their work so they tend to be much more expensive and with worse results compared to your average small manufacturer in Guangdong. Every huge manufacturer is dependent on an ecosystem of smaller specialized shops around them to build stuff for them. They seem to think its only about R&D and newer tech like 3D printing but small (f.e. sheet metal) shops are just as much part of the general supply chain. There is a big in-between of making 5pcs and a million that needs to be covered if you want new company growth and not just big corporate players to thrive. Innovation doesn't come from the mega corps. To get there you need to make jobs in the industry lucrative and you need to educate businesses on how to operate effectively, being cheap is not about low wages but how you utilize your resources. China subsidized this sector for a long time and is the primary reason why its so strong now despite having left the low labor cost segment a long time ago.
