US Manufacturing: Putting the Pieces Together
It's been a good ride. With the World Reserve Currency under its control, the United States has been able to successfully export inflation for a long period of time - allowing the populace to partially live at the expense of everyone else. However, the service economy that has grown in its wake will falter as nations lose faith in the financial stability of the debt laden government. Moving forward, manufacturing will play a crucial role in keeping the boat afloat. Let's put the pieces together.
The financial well-being of the US Government is growing dim. For example, Germany and Italy supposedly have nearly a quarter of a trillion dollars of gold reserves in the custody of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and repatriation pressure is growing. Does it still exist, or has it been squandered in efforts to suppress gold prices? Time will tell. As of this writing, the US national debt totals over $36 trillion with the Big Beautiful Bill potentially adding upwards of $5 trillion. Grim.
The fragile US service economy is enormous - accounting for nearly 80% of GDP. For comparison, services accounted for approximately 50% of US GDP in 1950. Meanwhile, during the same period, manufacturing fell from nearly 30% of GDP to about 10%. As the US Dollar falls from grace, this balance will be found to be unsustainable. Americans will no longer be able to consume at this rate without becoming substantially more productive. Who will have their shorts on when the tide goes out?
Automation is the answer. For example, apparel manufacturing is still labor intensive, and everyone wears clothes. Manufacturing automation has the ability to greatly reduce transport costs, bolster related industries, create new jobs, and transform technologically developed nations back into manufacturing powerhouses in the process. While automation may scare some, it will allow the US to maintain a prominent role on the World Stage as the new multi-polar paradigm emerges. Automate.
US manufacturing is the light at the end of the tunnel. Exciting new developments, such as factory modularity, will allow manufacturers flexibility in meeting the demands of an ever-changing market. Gold will flow into those nations that take heed. Stability will return. Financial burdens will be reined in. Production will replace destructive conquest. Self-esteem will improve. The quality of life will grow as a result. Automated US manufacturing is the future.
