I'm just glad that we're bringing LEGO manufacturing back to the US.
For too long US builders have been subject to the geopolitical risks of Denmark, the Czech Republic, Hungary, China, and Mexico.
This is a strategic raw material, without which trains, helicopters, fire engines, pirate ships, and hospitals cannot be built. To say nothing of the dependence that US media IP has on continued fresh brick availability.
It's good to see US manufacturing coming back!

- alexchamberlain 4y agoI think this was parody... but geopolitical risks of Denmark!?!
- mianm 4y agoI'd be more concerned about Lego setting up a factory in a country with very poor labour laws compared to most countries in that list, than the stability of Denmark.
- ethbr0 4y agoIt's a little known fact that Sweden has been in the process of declaring war on Denmark. As soon as they finalize the phrasing of the declaration and approve it through committee, probably in the next few centuries, all hell is going to break loose.
