Wonder if they have ever thought of rail? It would take a bit of "specialty" equipment at both ends.................but with auto / rail shipments way down - wonder if they could repurpose some auto related train cars / sidings?
I am all for bringing back both freight and passenger rail...they both make a lot of sense if done right, but considering their present state it could take a while and a pile of money.
A friend of mine works for a major ice cream company here in VT and I asked if his sugar syrup comes in by rail or truck....he said truck. I asked why not rail, they are on a rail line. He said that with a truck they can tell him that the delivery will be on Tuesday between 1 and 6 pm. Rail on the other hand will tell him the delivery will be either next week or the following....you can't run a production line like that! Too bad we have let our rail system go to hell in a handbasket! It is way more efficient to bring goods long distances by rail.

I emailed escape to double check, and they confirmed that the price increase doesn't apply to me, and presumably others who have signed their build sheet.

Source that there is a financially beneficial relationship between government regulations and unions/government workers?

Here’s a thought, is China taking advantage of the current situation and purposely creating product shortages to ultimately increase their profits.
Is that a thought or question?

It’s amazing what’s happening to cost of things and some are just not available as no one makes them here. It was once said, never let a crisis go to waste.
Not sure I'm catching your drift. Are you saying products would be less expensive if they were made in the US of A or Canada? Here's an example of one product which not does fit into your narrative: iPhones. An iPhone costs @$1,000. They are made in China. It would cost $2000 if it was made in U.S/Canada. Here's the source.

We signed our build sheet-I thought it applied to any deliveries after July 1 2022.
