Before manufacturers send jobs over to India and China, the companies should check out the power grid. What is the reliability of electricity. Will the power grid work today? Will it work two weeks from now? Will our business have water and power to manufacture our electronic widgets?
Not only that but, will there be enough electricity to power the homes, appliances, traffic control lights, road lighting, phones, trains, airports, seaports, and all the necessary infrastructure needed to run a city of millions? Is India’s power infrastructure dependable? Is it technologically up to date? Can it bare the load placed on it on a daily basis?
Obviously not. It failed yesterday. Failing in a big time way. Over 370-million customers were without electricity. An amount equal t the population of the US and Canada. Shutting down thousands of businesses. Bringing to a halt progress. Showing that India and possibly China has its limits.
All of this ignoring the fact that here in America, we have a more reliable system. A system with some miner weak spots but mostly reliable none the less.
So why risk send manufacturing and its jobs far far away to a system questionable at best.
Electricity. Power made in America. Depend on it. Appreciate it. The United States needs to stop giving huge tax breaks to companies sending jobs to India and China. It’s anti-American. Its investors are anti-American.
Where is the patriotism? Where is the American loyalty? Where is the American spirit of “Can Do?” Let’s just stay here in our neighborhood and get things done. God bless America. India will take care of itself. China couldn’t give a flip.
