My first Typhoon 🌀

Wait… this is a good idea all the empty office and mall real estate should become cheap factory floor space for young 20-somethings to start to make stuff CNC, EDM, Milling, stamping, molding, assembly, PCB, we need to encourage all of these

Machine delivery is 2 months late sitting on a boat waiting to get into port of Long Beach. First set of molds is now 102 days late after mold supplier realized they needed to do a different process, now I’ll spend ~$10k to airfreight. Typical China pains. Make in USA.

What are they delivering? Wrong answers only.
