Manufacturing jobs are disappearing around the world. It’s not about trying to create manufacturing jobs. Create jobs building and maintaining the robots.
3. Low cost raw materials. We have to remove all costs associated with getting raw metals, electronics and construction. It has to be cheap to build the factories and robotics.
2. Massive government funding in companies building automation equipment. Especially SMBs. We have to have hundreds of innovative automation companies to be competitive. This is where the jobs are.
1. 0% interest loans (government supported) for buying automation equipment and opening new factories, especially to <500 employee companies. Funded in 15 days.
While everyone is talking about whether tariffs bring back American jobs, China is building robot factories with NO humans.
Here’s how to bring back American manufacturing in 3 steps (from someone who owned business in US, Mexico and China):

This should be a national scandal: Today, the LA County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution asking the state to suspend various legal protections for property owners in burned areas—their right to build a duplex or ADU, to reasonable permit timelines, and more.
Imagine your house just burned down. At least this is an opportunity to building something better, perhaps with an extra floor or bedroom? Perhaps this has taken new urgency, as nearby family has also lost their home? Nope! You may only build roughly the exact same thing.
In the category of why we can’t have nice things:
A CEQA lawsuit has been filed against the Bay Lights project — an iconic & popular light installation on the Bay Bridge by @IlluminatedArts that’s being made permanent.
CEQA is the law that swallowed CA. It needs to be reformed.
@mattbaran We need to solve for impact and related fees for SB684 to really take off. A huge percentage of SB684 projects we’ve looked at doing can’t work because of impact fees.
Honestly it’s more likely that a mechanical robot design startup uses a reasoning O1-like model with unlimited test time compute to design and generate robots special purpose built for harvesting that specific type of crop and field
Greatly enjoyed talking about the future of Remote Patient Monitoring last week at #docsf#jpm#ces. It's looking like 2019 will be the year RPM (finally) takes off.

My next #tctokyo session is at 11:50am Japan time (10:50am HK / 9:50pm ET; in a few mins), where I will be joined by @spire_inc CEO @jpalley to talk about his washable Health Tag that you stick to your undergarments. No charging needed! Watch live here: https://t.co/qSKPNMbSmG
