Due to the Indigenous Peoples Day holiday, the library is closed today and Beyond Labels will not meet.
For next week:
With all the immigration, tariff, and $100k visa “action” in recent news, we decided to take a look at how important (or not) foreign direct investment in the United States is.
- When a foreign auto maker builds an assembly plant in the U.S., is that a good thing? Are the products “U.S. cars” or “foreign cars?” How does it matter?
- How should foreign direct investment in the U.S. be regulated?
- All are welcome; the more, the merrier?
- Restrict investment by our adversaries (e.g., China)?
- Is CFIUS doing the job it was formed to do?
- Should there be fundamentally different approaches to different types of investment?
- U.S. research labs?
- Domestic manufacturing plants?
- Purchases of resources (agricultural land, mineral rights)?
