How LA Is Quietly Becoming America's New Industrial Tech Hub
The narrative says America can't compete with China in advanced manufacturing, but a growing cluster of high-tech production is emerging in Southern California. Companies are setting up factories around Los Angeles to build precision metal parts, jet engines, and even space vehicles. This episode, recorded live in LA, features Tom Mueller of Impulse Space and Chris Power of Hadrian. They discuss why the US lost its manufacturing edge, the rise of autonomous factories, and how LA became a new destination for builders.
