I’ve got two Gen Z kids, and I can tell you—neither of them is going to line up to work in an iPhone factory. That’s just not how Gen Z rolls. If we’re serious about rebuilding U.S. manufacturing, we need to invest in training and build high-skill, high-value products—not chase cheap labor.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
