Just wondering what the Mean Green poster this will/should happen as we and other countries move forward.

Interested to see what the different opinions are and if you think there will be sizable changes, or at the end of the day the cheap labor will win out?

I think we will see an effort to "re-shore" some manufacturing and if not return it to the US, then bring it closer; perhaps Mexico gets a boost.

I think there will be a renewed push for protection of intellectual rights.

This is basically it. Any jobs that are brought back from China will go to Mexico. Anyone sitting around thinking that any meaningful percentage of the manufacturing jobs that have left the US in the past 20-40 years are coming back is delusional.

In these cases jobs to Mexico is better, IMO, than overseas.

I think we will see India manufacturing emerging in the coming years.

I believe the amount of jobs coming back to the US will be impacted by the incentives provided and the outcome of the November elections. Both parties have major differences in the types of industries they are backing for future growth.

The USA is way too dependent on China and the virus has just highlighted that. 

The USA will slowly reduce that dependence because that is the only way that it can happen.   Can't cut China loose till a more reliable source is available. 

Capitalism will still dictate going to a low cost alternative.  Hopefully, multiple sources will be developed and not a great dependence on any one or two nations. 

I don't think Mexico is that great a source, medicine is not labor intensive.  Hopefully, the legislature will mandate USA sourcing for a sizeable portion of the market.

Especially true when it comes to rare earth elements that are used in everything from the military to smart phones.  We get the vast majority of them from China.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      Tim Pernetti's (new AAC Commissioner) remarks regarding exploring more corporate involvement seems interesting and innovative, sort of. Getting some heavy-hitter businesses on board with their big advertising/public-relations budgets. They get to splash their logos all over the AAC venues, ceremonies, uniforms, etc in exchange for some NIL type moola. I don't know, it all just feels weird and uncomfortable to this old fat guy.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.
