Tell me what startups he created and what actual manufacturing he did.
Just curious, @LuFins-Dad , have you done any “actual manufacturing” yourself?
Suppose I say, a long time ago, I operated a computer in a garment factory that lays out patterns on fabric such that another team would later cut (in bulk) the fabric by tracing the pattern laid out by the computer, and the cut pieces then got stitched together to make garments ... let’s say I only operated the pattern layout computer and never touched any other tool or machinery, does that count as having done “actual manufacturing” in your book?
What about, say, the corporate lawyer who takes care of legal matters for the garment factory but never touched any tool or machinery except the computers/typewriters? Does that lawyer count as having done “actual manufacturing” in your book?
What about a merger and acquisition specialist who has never worked a day in any factory, but has worked two dozen deals buying and selling garment factories? If such a person were to opine on what he think the future for garment factory workers is, are you going to brush him off because he has never done any “actual manufacturing”?
As a matter of fact, I have. If you bought a Sony TV between 1992 and 1994, there's a 7% chance that your circuit board came through my station. I also did some general labor in a machine shop for a while, and grew up in a family where every member of my family worked for Corning Glassworks in Charleroi. One of my uncles was one of the plant managers and another uncle was president of the union There were some interesting holiday discussions...

Nice!
When you did you realize that "TV manufacturing" would leave the USA?
When did your family who worked for Corning Glassworks realize that Corning would divest all consumer product lines?
