alt Hacker NewsAbsolutely agree. And this is why America cannot simply bring outsourced industries like manufacturing back. Expertise is built through hard-won experience and there is no easy way to transfer or replicate it. And this is why the best forms of instruction are akin to apprenticeship. You can’t teach expertise through a book, but you can guide a person to develop their own expertise and speed up the process.
This seems to be a negative form of American exceptionalism. If Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and Vietnam can do it, what is it about the USA that makes you think the USA cannot do it. At the very least we could bring experts from other countries in to demonstrate, teach, etc.
Manufacturing in the USA is slowly improving.
"The Manufacturing PMI® registered 52.7 percent in March, a 0.3-percentage point increase compared to the reading of 52.4 percent in February. The overall economy continued in expansion for the 17th month in a row."
