The United Farm Workers on Tuesday announced its endorsement of President Joe Biden for reelection, saying that the Democrat has proven throughout his life to be an āauthentic championā for workers and their families, regardless of race or national origin.
The farm workersā union was co-founded by Cesar Chavez, the late grandfather of Julie Chavez Rodriguez, who Biden named as his 2024 campaign manager. Her father, Arturo Rodriquez, is a past UFW president.
Julie Rodriguez and āspecial guestsā were expected to formally announce the endorsement later Tuesday at Muranaka Farms in the city of Moorpark in southern California.
On a simple matter of logistics it makes sense, simplifies it down a good bit. Also better to not put all your eggs in one basket. Spread out manufacturing and dont rely on a single country or region.
Spreading out manufacturing is the exact opposite of concentrating manufacturing jobs in the US
Youāre looking at it from the wrong perspective. The US isnāt starting out with mostly manufacturing in the US and further concentrating it.
The US currently is far too concentrated in China and bringing more manufacturing back to the US is āspreading it outā
Then diversify away from China, but I see no reason to ābring jobs home.ā Comparative advantage is a good thing.
The advantage is a diversified economy, we currently have an economy centered around service. Which isnt bad in and of itself but it does create distinct weaknessās that shouldnāt be allowed to grow too big. Frankly id love a North American equivalent to the EU or atleast the European coal and steel community.
But that still would require a diversity of economy for all of North America. Frankly the world. Needs to relay less on over seas shipping if it can be helped IMO. Rail is optimal and peak cargo transit.
Weāre a global leader, and an economy that has transitioned to service provides huge benefits to itās citizens. The transition to services provides more wealth and easier labor - Iām all for it.
I love where your heart is on this but youāve clearly never shipped by rail
