Much of the hysteria around tariffs has died down, but the effects haven’t, particularly reshoring initiatives. While a noble goal, reshoring comes with a hefty price tag. But even those not yet directly slapped with tariffs are feeling the pressure to focus on domestic initiatives before they’re forced into it. But that’s not all we’ve got: well-meaning executives are slowing down digitization, the effects of plant automation on how employees work, and why your power bill suddenly has another zero on the end. We hope you enjoy.
