But that’s an anecdotal observation that tees up a the infographic that is our short but stark featured focus this evening.
As usual, we like to encourage readers every evening to look at our left-right headlines. Compare the two topic sets and how they frame a topic for a few minutes. There is perhaps no more practical bright-line distinction that can be made and it compliments the Sharyl Attkisson infographic and our quotable quotations nicely.
Every Business Nightly – Headline and Graphical Insights-at-a-Glance.
Every weekday night that the stock markets are open, we provide headlines from left-of-center CNN followed by right-of-center Fox Business. It is sometimes surprising how much We share closing tickers and other related data courtesy of Yahoo Finance, and more. 5 to 10 minutes reading this MHProNews market report every business night could save you 30 minutes to an hour of similar reading or fact-gathering elsewhere.
Perhaps more important, you will get insights about the industry from experts that care, but also dare to challenge the routine narrative spun by some that arguably keeps manufactured housing underperforming during an affordable housing crisis.

10 Market Indicator Closing Summaries – Yahoo Finance Closing Tickers on MHProNews…
Featured Focus – Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet
It has been a while since we’ve shared a Visual Capitalist (VC) infographic, but the one that they emailed today was a selection that merits sharing.
Stating the Obvious
There is much discussion about COVID19 and what it should be telling Americans. In no specific order of importance, here are some MHProNews food for thought.
- For the most robust rebound in the U.S. possible, the crisis should be used to bring America’s supply chains back home.
- There is an email in hand from a federal source that suggests some level of impact on certain manufactured housing producers. That is one of several reasons why bringing supply chains back to the U.S. makes sense.
- The more independent America is from not only China, but also from other low-wage countries such as Vietnam or other nations that don’t have a love of the U.S.A, the better. Jobs that are offshored resulted in a variety of harmful social, economic, political and military consequences for the U.S. A key lesson from the Wuhan Virus should be that offshoring has risks many never thought about.
- America First may be a campaign slogan, but it should be a common-sense reality.
- China especially, but several other nations as well, make little or no sense for U.S. investment when a longer-term view is taken. American and western wealth built up China’s economy, which in turn built up their military, spy, cyberwarfare, Belt and Road and other threats to the U.S and world. Those who complain – understandably so – about human rights in the U.S. should feel an even greater concern about shipping jobs to a country that denies over 1.4 billion people so basic rights Americans take for granted.
- The dollars ‘saved’ by doing business in China come at a high cost to domestic governments.
- Trillions in lost valuations and GDP and over 33,000 lost American lives, plus many more globally, are strong reasons to push for change post-pandemic.
- In doing so, a close look needs to occur as to the ties with the World Health Organization and those such as the Gates Foundation that have closely aligned with interests in China and the WHO.
Many voices on both sides of the major party’s political aisle are calling for a return to normal. The status quo ante COVID19 should not be the goal. Once the crisis is past, this is the time to completely rethink the relationship.
This is the time to embrace major pro-American changes. The higher cost of goods would be offset by the more incomes that workers would get, and arguably lower governmental costs for entitlement programs that have to fill the gaps caused by shipping jobs to China, Vietnam, etc..
