I'd like to hear what you all think, am I overthinking this?

U.S. Manufacturing Myths The "Decline" of Manufacturing isn't the real issue

You will want to share this with anyone who says manufacturing is dead in the U.S.

This week, I want to challenge a persistent narrative that has shaped economic policy discussions for decades: the supposed "death of American manufacturing."

Echoes of the 1930s Isolationism Then and Now

The current administration has proposed policies designed to isolate the U.S. from the rest of the world. It is easy to believe that the U.S. β€œdoesn’t need the rest of the world,” but that is far from true.

Scholar Social Microblogging for researchers, grad students, librarians, archivists, undergrads, high schoolers, educators, research assistants, profsβ€”anyone involved in learning who engages with others respectfully

When I quit Twitter, I joined a Mastodon instance called scholar.social.

Since then a recurring theme on my TL is that much of the mainstream establishment isn't equipped for this moment.

I implore you to listen experts, like @withdra.com, rather than your fav host or pundit from MSNBC.
