Talked to our manager over small engine products division. He also does motorcross, as do his kids. Weve been waiting on some orders for a year now. We cant get bikes, and no engines for our products (hot water pressure washers).
With this latest shipment rejected, we have no motors, and no finished products to sell. They did not give an explanation of what contaminated means.
They did say they are testing solar powered electric motors.
The drought of engi es is in part because of the new emissions guodelines that went through last week?
2 things:
- I didnt hear about the new "laws", was i not paying attention or is this a state level thing?
- Didnt SCOTUS strip the EPA of regulatory powers, or is this coming in from some other idiots?
I've heard a lot about the destruction of infrastructure in China, about how manufacturers small and large were hit by Covid the same way that it hit small retailers over here. Specifically that they were caught in a bind, as their taxes were based on capacity not revenue, and the only legal way they could get out of their taxes, after stores were closed for nearly a year and export ships were blocked up for another 6 months or so, was to destroy their capacity. That's why we heard about lots of factory fires: the owners had a cash flow crunch, and to keep the authorities from going after their personal assets they had to destroy the factories. Obviously the crony government was also suffering a cash hit from the real estate bubble, so they weren't making deals with factory owners and exacerbated the problem with tough enforcement. All my info is hearsay, but it fits.
I believe that a regrowth of US manufacturing will be the way of the future.
That was the problem. After 8 years under obummer the market bounced up almost instantly under Trump. They were trying to break it but they could only suppress it.
Now the resident is wracking the entire thing with a crowbar, literally smashing it, but the American economy is fighting back. Even with all the damage the economy is resilient. They literally had to stop the raw material and parts flow to slow and hurt it.
They are literally firebombing factories, kamikaze style aircraft into manufacturing plants, in an attempt to hurt it.
I've likewise heard the same info about China
My company has friends and people we sponsor in India, and my parents have collegues in Isreal, and Denmark, and my in-laws live next to Ukranian ex-pats.
I don't doubt Team Trump or that were winning. A lot of the information being put out here and through conservative and Patriot broadcasts are good, very little is bad, but it is out there.
Thanks for the report. I'm glad to hear it from another quarter, as getting information out is a challenge.
