Seems insane considering the weight and bulk of shipping these, not to mention the number of steel foundries in the US. This is why we need tariffs!

Labor shortage in manufacturing?I hear so much noise around labor in manufacturing and I'm curious what ground-truth is.
Is it hard to find people to work for you?
If so, is it specialized / experienced people, or general entry-level?
Does pay make a huge difference (i.e. are people saying no to jobs because of pay)?
Would love to hear your experience.

I’m Sonia. I travel to China and tour their shops/manufacturing factory /technical training there. I think if we are making stuff in the US we have a lot to learn from China, since they have been doing it forever.
Hi Sonia, I've traveled quite a bit to China as well. Their capacity is impressive. However, it's important to remember that they didn't really start to industrialize until the late 1960s, early 1970s. Here in the US we've been doing it since the 1770s, and earlier.
I do think we need to re-learn the importance of building at home and we need to prioritize energy cost and materials costs... this is how China has really gotten ahead. I see a lot of the right things happening.
Out of curiosity, what brings you to China to tour factories?
