The reindustrialization of America in the form of a full-scale restoration of many manufacturing industries is a matter of the USA's survival in changing geo-economic conditions. More and more American economists and politicians are leaning toward this view. But it is becoming increasingly clear that reindustrialization is hindered by the existing global financial dollar system.

In previous publications, we showed how China has seized global leadership in shipbuilding and maritime shipping, as well as the US shift to a policy of tough protectionism in this sector to revive its own shipbuilding production. To this end, a new large-scale and comprehensive bill, the "SHIPS for America Act 2025" (SHIPS), is being discussed in the US, aimed at restoring the shipbuilding industry and maritime shipping.

And here it is very important to figure out whether such pleasures can really make you truly happy, and whether they will lead to dangerous addictions and the destruction of relationships that matter to you.

“It was the cat that broke the mug!”, “Carlson ate all my candies!”, “They promised to buy me the newest smartphone!”, “I’ve already done all my homework, I’m going out to play.” When parents catch children lying, they often take it very personally, like an insult: “We didn’t raise you this way, we trusted you!” But to avoid destroying trust with hasty accusations and overly harsh punishment, it’s worth understanding why the child lied and how to respond so this behavior doesn’t become habitual or the lies more sophisticated.
