The world we’ve known and loved is going away, which means the US will have to pull itself up by its bootstraps and get to work…because there is a massive defense buildout and reindustrialization looming on the horizon.
The first order of business is figuring out the energy situation. Tariffs and policy decisions are limiting solutions, so localities that want to benefit from reshoring need to solve their own power generation and grid issues. Then we have the people problem; there are simply not enough skilled tradespeople to carry out the reindustrialization effort. And lastly, we have the defense buildout. While this sparked an economic boom and pushed the limits of innovation in the past, this time around…we won’t be so lucky.
