Politicians worldwide seem locked into the same playbook: push factories, boost manufacturing, secure industrial dominance. But here's the thing—this entire fixation rests on a flawed foundation.

The reality? Factory obsession isn't grounded in solid economic logic. It's built on myths about what actually drives growth and prosperity. When governments chase this industrial fantasy, they're not just wasting resources—they're setting themselves up for failure.

The irony is sharp: the more aggressively leaders pursue factory-centric policies, the more self-defeating the outcomes become. Misaligned incentives, inefficient capital allocation, missed opportunities in actually productive sectors. It's a pattern we're seeing play out across major economies.

Worth asking yourself: what policies are actually moving markets in 2025? Spoiler—it's not always what politicians are banking on.

The obsession with the Industrial Age really needs to be broken; politicians just know how to copy and paste the old playbook. --- Wait, is the logic saying that manufacturing policies are essentially a trap? I find it hard to understand. --- ngl It feels like everyone is playing the same outdated game, but no one dares to admit that the rules have already changed. --- They can't see the truly profitable opportunities in 2025 at all, still fixated on factories. --- This perspective hits hard... So, which direction is actually the right one?

Politicians are still playing the same old tricks from the industrial era, but they completely miss the real money-making opportunities.

Politicians are still sleepwalking, factory factory factory, not realizing that this script is already outdated. People have long seen through the policies that actually make money. Politicians are still just making big promises on paper, hilarious. Capital has already moved elsewhere, yet they are still clinging to industrial fantasies. Isn't that just asking for humiliation? Instead of investing in factories, it's better to see what tech and AI are doing. The market has already spoken.

Haha, politicians are still dreaming of the industrial era. Wake up. --- The factory dream is already outdated. Can't you see? --- Basically, it's capital misallocation. All the money is poured into factories. --- It's hilarious. In 2025, they're still playing the same old industrial era game. --- That's the real problem. Policies are completely off track. --- The manufacturing industry is already passé, yet they're still pushing it. --- Where capital flows is the key, not the factories. --- After all these years of promoting manufacturing, what's the result? --- The incentive mechanisms are all messed up. No wonder problems arise.

Politicians are all playing the same game; frankly, it's just self-deception.

Factory policies are really a big pitfall, and politicians are still sleepwalking --- Honestly, this old script should have been taken offline long ago; overcapacity is obvious to everyone --- The real profit-making opportunities in 2025 are no longer in these traditional industries --- Wake up, leaders of all countries, the manufacturing dividend has long been exhausted --- Misallocation of capital is why some people are making huge profits while others are losing money --- Politicians are always five years behind the market; this time, they will have to pay tuition again --- The more aggressive industrial policies are, the more likely they are to collapse; isn't that common sense? --- Asking a good question: where is the true growth engine? --- Another round of policy takers is coming; do you dare to gamble? --- The industrialization dream is dead; what are we still chasing?
