Falkland Islands, too, apparently. Oh .fk

Falklands produce a lot of seafood and high end knitwear. Squid in particular.

This didn't take long.

Luckily this would be painless, there being no obvious inflationary pressures he's just created.

But the point is that no one lives there, so its consumption of US goods is going to be tiny, even if everyone is driving around in a Chevvy. It's almost guaranteed to be running a trade surplus with the USA. So the blunt instrument spreadsheet methodology is once again shown to be lazy spite.

About these millions of manufacturing jobs Trump is promising to reshore, who'll be filling them? It's not going to be immigrants.

A report from Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute this month claims that manufacturers could need as many as 3.8 million new workers by 2033. Roughly 1.9 million of those could go unfilled if current labor gaps remain unsolved. https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/ma ... 24/713326/

* Toothfish - a fair proportion to the USA.

Havign never heard of Toothfish I investigated.

Saw someone comment on Kamala Harris video still holding up that they were right not to vote for her because she was bombing kids.

They will never be wrong or make a mistake these people.
