on his X.
So here's his chance. Bring it back, Mikey.
No more Asia and Mumbai. Bring it back, baby.
Or will this just be another reason to ramp up the wfrs?

Russia is exempt from Tariffs. I wonder if manufacting will ramp up there
The current administration is making a point of mentioning AI and automation. Let that sink in. AI and AUTOMATION. Go on youtube and search for Lutnick on Meet the Press from today. He says it. If true, the factories are coming back but with less people to run them.
A lot of people on here who think they can do their job from anywhere in the world, but get mad when we hire people from anywhere in the world.
MD is an id10t -- plain and simple. Just because you have money doesn't make you smart. Right place, right time, right investors. Basically that is what it comes down to. Posting "Go America" is great, but the hypocrisy is not. Meanwhile, Dell pushes a 60% 3rd world country offshore ratio in engineering thinking they're saving money. It's the same id--tic choice with RTO and the overall layoffs.
Go America? Yeah right. Almost all engineering jobs at Dell are either outsourced to India and China or are done by Indian and Chinese H1Bs in America. You can barely see an American in any technical role. Michael Dell is a traitor.
Are we winning yet? It’s going to take the US a decade to ramp up manufacturing. 40-50% of auto parts are imported. It’s just slapped together here and called American. For tech companies, this is a good thing. Robotic AI will replace humans. Robots can be programmed and continuously learn to assemble parts and autos. Robots are used in surgery. If they can do that, they can slap a car together. Notice who is in tight with 47? Tech giants. Why? They are going to get all the AI / Robot contracts for manufacturing.
@ac+1jr0h1qw4, actually, H-1B’s do not appear to be as rampant as one might think. As per the latest H1BGrader.com sponsors report, Dell is ranked 159th, with only 67 Labor Condition Applications (LCA), including one withdrawal.[1] LCA detailed information and LCA historical approval summary in links [2] and [3] below.

While the Downtown Clown is busy playing 1980s economics with steel tariffs, the real opportunity is staring us in the face - software. No factories to build, no smelting required - just smart policy, smart people, and broadband. We could reshore high-paying software and tech jobs overnight if we focused on talent pipelines and incentives. Instead, we’re stuck reliving a Rust Belt fantasy while the digital future gets outsourced. Go America? Sure, just pick the right century.
yet H1B is rampant at Dell
Go China!!
No tariff on software and so software jobs not coming back. Just hardware but that takes time to build here.
If only he would’ve thought this 10 years ago and stopped buying lousy parts from Vietnam ….
Seriously. Forget steel imports. It'll take years to tool up to bring those jobs back. The software jobs can come back tomorrow, with no infrastructure investment. Why aren't we talking about those? Go America indeed.
