Our Credentialed, But Maleducated, Elite Are Getting Introduced to Concentration Risk
Any small business owner knows that relying on just one supplier or one major customer exposes him to great risk. Most investors know not to put all of their nest egg in one company’s stock.
So how is it that our best and brightest leaders, with gilded pedigrees, and surrounded by graduates of the most prestigious universities, have all forgotten the timeless wisdom of the proverb “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” We know the answer of course. Our elites are well connected people who are credentialed, yet dangerously maleducated. The risks from concentration and lack of diversification are completely alien to them. All they know how to do is follow the pack of their peers, who are also following the pack. It’s a shame, because ignoring the peril of concentration risk has put us all in a difficult spot. The combined US market share of the adjacent ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach was 32% in 2020. No other West Coast port exceeded 5%, and there are plenty to choose from – Oakland, San Diego, Tacoma, etc. There are excellent reasons why LA / Long Beach is the busiest port in America, but relying on it for the majority of West Coast imports created a dangerous concentration risk. And now our supply chains are busted because that port is so crowded and overwhelmed (and strangled by red tape) that its processes have completely broken down. Wise people would not have assumed that all imports could flow through that port alone without there being serious risk of business interruption. But then, most of our business and political leaders are not very wise. I wrote recently about how the US produced 37% of global microchips in 1990. It’s now down to 10%. Meanwhile, China and Taiwan now control 70% of the production. Throw in South Korea, and 91% of global microchip production is subject to interruption by China. Yet political and business leaders have championed outsourcing all this production to Communist China’s sphere of influence. They never once thought there were any risks from concentrating it there. But now with Covid and energy crises shutting down Chinese ports, plus various other supply chain bottlenecks, there is a catastrophic shortage of microchips in the US. It didn’t have to be that way. How did our leaders get their advanced degrees and never learn about concentration risk? And irrespective of China, Principled Free Traders™ never once considered the possibility that shipping interruptions could occur if all American manufacturing was offshored and then concentrated in Asia. They sneered and mocked anyone who tried to explain that domestic sourcing eliminates many risks of a global supply chain. Domestically, we have allowed a dangerous concentration of power in the hands of tech companies, which are our 21st Century utilities. Rather than taming them with anti-trust laws, we have allowed the FANGs to gobble up or squash any competitors. With their monopoly market shares, and the power to silence anyone they choose, their’s is a politically dangerous concentration. And we are now starting to realize that Monster Tech companies are openly loyal to China and contemptuous of the United States. That is terrifying. Real leaders would start calling for a repatriation of manufacturing. Where imports are necessary, they’d back away from Asia and look more toward Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe, allowing easier access to Gulf Coast and East Coast ports. And as for Monster Tech, it is time for some good old-fashioned, carry-a-big-stick, Teddy Roosevelt-style trustbusting. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]Comments

The problem is that "real leaders" need a "real party" to get things done. Trump called for a resumption of American-made products and wanted us to detach from the Orient, but "his" party is too corrupt, too bought off and too jealous of their status as members of the Inner Party to see the wisdom of what he wanted. They are mandarins, ossified in the politics of "we've always done it this way" and "it's easier (for which, read, 'it's more profitable for us') to do it this way."
The GOP needs to be wiped out and a new party constituted from its ashes before what you've described in your last paragraph can happen.

The closest anyone got to this was the British Empire which was importing things to England to sell from places as far away as Hong Kong and South Africa. But to do so, they had to control the seas in an absolute iron fist and be willing to treat people with brutality and even death if need be to keep things flowing. That's what it takes.

My business used to do internal presentations for many of the tech firms in the valley - I was privvy to loads of insider info, but could never take advantage of it since I wasn't in congress.
I remember in the mid 80's we were working for Toshiba (or maybe Hitachi), that were touting this whole Just In Time fabrication thing, and pushing it heavily. Soon, we were doing the same for HP, NSC and others. Not in a single one of these presentations or demos did anybody address the questions most laymen had for "what if" scenarios. Nope, all they could see was dollar signs and hanging onto their money until the last possible second. Of course, by the 90's that was how they were all operating.
The chickens have come home to roost - and apparently they've been fucking like minks.

Don't worry, with global warming, you don't need icebreakers.
Oh wait...
Dozens of ships have gotten stuck in the sea ice of the Russian Arctic due to an earlier-than-expected freeze over the past week, media outlets have reported.
Moscow has invested heavily in the so-called Northern Sea Route as the Arctic warms disproportionately faster than the rest of the world and opens the strategic shipping route connecting Europe and Asia to year-round navigation.
Northern Sea Route operators said they were surprised by the early sea-ice formation, which previously did not warrant icebreaker escorts.
Unlike in previous years, an ice layer 30 centimeters thick had already formed across most of the Laptev Sea and East Siberian seas by late October, according to The Barents Observer.

The goods are coming from China because China underwent a massive, multi-decade effort to get production moved there, as a strategic matter. Much of that was enabled by the same leftist twats and fake conservatives responsible for CA.

If global war comes along, we can undoubtedly feed ourselves. We can produce lumber, cotton, lots of raw materials. But we've hamstrung ourselves in manufacturing by sending it all offshore where labor is dirt cheap.
What happens when China acts and Japan reacts and Australia panics? We can produce wheat, but do we have the capability to produce enough steel for a fleet of ships if it becomes necessary to augment what we have?
Same goes for tech of course, since China and Taiwan are the epicenter of chip mfg.

Funny, but Tim Pool actually falls into the eggs in one basket category. He's dependent entirely upon goolag's largesse. He's forced to sit on the fence for fear of them terminating his ass. If that happens, he's toast. I'll take MOR "conservatism" if it sways younger people to even start paying attention - which certainly seems to be the case with Mr. Beany. Some realize he's a fence sitter (like Crigler), and that's fantastic. I think the difference between Goldberg and Pool is Pool actually has a functioning moral compass, but has sold out in some respects.
Rekieta got probably 10k viewers easy from TP, so I can see him making a visit. The more they sway, the better. Some youngsters are getting fed up and need to hear a real conservative voice.

That's why I can't stand much from people like Tim Pool and The Quartering. If they gave more of their analysis (even though it's kind of facile), it would be much more interesting to me than them trying to pad out their video to 10 minutes long by slowly reading the article. FFS, I hate that way of consuming info. I can read it in one minute, without having to listen to you like mommy reading me a story.

I take your point, but as TJM noted- it did work for quite some time.
Although as a sidebar, for the manufacturers, this worked because it cleared out clutter and reduced inventory. The thing is (at least from what I have seen in automotive) all the warehousing and high inventory got moved to suppliers and crossdocks.

Unless a video is over a certain length, it will not get "monetized" as in given advertising.

I'm not fully versed on the YouTube grifting regulations, but it used to be that 10m was the sweet spot for monetization.

But then they punish you for putting out more than 2 videos. I find 5m to be a sweet spot. If you're doing a 22 minute video, then cover a bunch of topics. And I suppose, I've seen Tim doing that just a bit (maybe 2). Jeremy puts out good ones occasionally, and tends to keep them a little more trimmed down. He also does a lot of clickbait that triggers the left, which I love because it's obvious they never watch the actual content. In that "reading" category, I probably prefer Salty the most, he has fun with it and keeps it concise.

But it's really an entirely different subject than cost-efficiency in general manufacturing. And in that area, the big economic one really under discussion, "cost-efficiency" is a function of many things, some of them real, some of them artificial (and thus controllable).
The controllable things are regulation, taxation, and other artificial impositions. Oh, and rent-seeking by companies or labor unions, effected via Congress.
Trump attacked the first set of those things, with great and surprisingly quick effect. But he was just getting started. Thus why I see his removal as probably on the level of "catastrophic" for America's economy and society, both of which can still thrive, if given the room.

The problem is: how? Subsidies and set-asides attract corruption like blood draws leeches, and like any state intervention in the economy, are usually implemented not to serve their ostensible purpose but to funnel money to some politician's favorite relative or associate. In their absence, will people willingly pay more on their own? You know what you call a maritime shipping company that doesn't pare away every inefficiency and redundancy? One that went out of business years ago.
At a start we could try to find some way to factor wild differences in environmental and labor regulations (such as exist between the US and China) into the price of imported goods, a sort of tariff legally chained to measurable differences in those factors. Democrats purport to be concerned about such things, so some of them might be able to be brought on board. However this still has us relying on the political process.
No easy answers.

I will say though, there was a "right-wing" back then with the John Birch Society-types. But it had ZERO to do with JFK getting killed. What's funny is when Nixon first heard JFK had been shot, he thought "Birchers" had done it.
The Left though is free to engage in all sorts of conspiracy theories like "right-wing" generals killing JFK or because Dallas was not sufficiently Democrat, that's why their hero (that brought in prostitutes into the White House) was murdered .

Seattle does decent volumes, I think. But the vast infrastructure that has evolved, logically, around the LA/Long Beach hub would need to be duplicated to make another port comparable. And while diversification/resilience has value, in this case the cost of that "value" would certainly be astronomical, and a game-stopper at the opening bell.

That's why the sweeter spot in all this has always been domestic de-regulation, or, more accurately, elimination of destructive misregulation. Everyone in CA would benefit from elimination of the absurd, suffocating and utterly baseless environmental regulation (probably almost every restriction introduced since the early 80s could be done away with, to the benefit of all).
Ditto across the land. This alone would bring a measurable uptick in domestic manufacturing. In some areas, much more than an "uptick".

"SF is going to be the world's most expensive ghost town if this keeps up. Its how Detroit died: riots followed by insane leadership, followed by businesses and citizens just leaving."
Nah, never happen. Let me explain why in simple terms: January temp, high around 55 low around 45. July temp, high around 65 low around 55. Also, hills. All the rioting/looting you see is in the flatlands. SF has micro-neighborhoods separated by hilly things called hills. SF is too prime a location to end up like Dee-twah.

I made a similar post last week about Manhattan. Certain affluent pockets are insulated from the disastrous consequences of leftwing politics. For now. But it's only a matter of time. The same thing did happen in Detroit. Hard to believe it now, but at one point Detroit was among the most affluent cities in the country, fueled by the automotive industry. It's now Thunderdome. That can and eventually will happen everywhere if leftwing insanity remains unchecked.

The Mafia/KGB/RCC corporate cartel had JFK assassinated because they knew the alien that had been impregnated into his brain during world war II in a failed OSS experiment, was about to complete gestation and erupt. Hence the headshots. An alien erupting out of the brain of the president of the United States would have caused panic and the complete collapse of the early fast food industry, the staple for money laundering and heroin distribution by the cartel...

Detroit was the richest city on earth in 1960 (per capita income) - all of it based on real (i.e. not public goods/govt) economic activity. Economic change followed by civic collapse produced the ruins we see today.
SF has the economic engine of the tech industry, which could have evolved anywhere, but happened to develop nearby, and that engine ain't anywhere close to seeing the kind of situation that enveloped US auto and other manufacturing in the 70s onwards. SF could continue evolving into a weird high-income ghetto, that's it's current trajectory.

We know most of the arms weren't turned in, simply because the figure turned in doesn't even amount to the number of Ruger 10/22's imported.
How many of them properly cached them - zeroed, WITH AMMO, in some place that didn't get paved over or washed out? How many of them can find their caches?
How many of them clued in their kids - or at least nieces and nephews - on where they are, and trained them not just how to use them but WHY, HOW, and WHEN to use them?
It doesn't matter if you don't turn shit in if you don't cache it properly and/or raise kids that are leftist twats. Take note, take heed, and fix your shit.

I wonder what they're suggesting the poor deplorables eat instead of turkey? Locusts? They're high in protein and cheap this year, folks! Stock up now!
When it's "poor" black folks, the media says it's totes cool for them to be knocking over Nordstrom's and Luis Vuitton stores, because hey, they need stuff. But if it's poor whites, it's f*ck you people, you don't need to eat that turkey. Have some soybean or insects instead. Lower your expectations, whitey!

Rockefeller Republicans assassinated JFK knowing that Goldwater would win the Republican nomination for president. They knew that the country would rally around the Democratic Party (with their help) and bury the Goldwater wing of the Republican Party for a generation.
The Rockefeller Repubs weren't competent enough to pull of a complex scheme like that.

Thanks, SFGoth - I just looked at a news article about the FOIA request. In fact, the FDA would like to turn over 500 pages PER MONTH. If they released 500 pages per day, 250 days a year, it would take less than three years to fulfill this request, which actually might be reasonable. They could still put it on a USB stick and release it all in a matter of hours.

And not even a knife death, at least that they've reported. I'm guessing this Brooks ain't the brightest bulb, but even he'd be able to figure out that escaping one felony assault for the knife fight, but committing multiple murders in the process, is not great cost-benefit analysis.

KPIX/KTVU just did stories on the folks in Pacific Heights freaking out because their garages are being broken into, and people kicking in their back doors. The thieves seem to be ignoring the hilly hills. Neighborhoods don't matter. Stores are closing earlier, or leaving. Large businesses aren't expanding. Soon, big tech will follow. It might not be detroit, but I can certainly see entire sections becoming even more dystopian than they are right now.

I deliberately moved our manufacturing from China to the Philippines back in 2008 and have never looked back. However now, we are almost at a standstill due to component shortages out of - you guessed it - China.
Simple USB connectors now have a 56 week lead-time in volume. Forget about tantalum capacitors. What used to be 36 weeks is now over 52 weeks. Reason given? No metals and resins coming out of China.
This is deliberate. This is economic war built on top of a purposeful biological war. It is my belief that this is all in retribution for Trump and his economic policies against China.

In the early days after WWII, a man named Demming went to Japan to teach manufacturing techniques. The Japanese wholly embraced and perfected this. Years later, Japan was recruited to come to the US to train us on all of the techniques that they developed.
What the US didn't understand was that Japanese have a very different and disciplined culture.
Many of us realized the pitfalls. Every step of the process must work perfectly for this process to be successful. Too many variables made this mostly impossible.
And here we are today...
