Dear Readers, in what universe is Costco running out of toilet paper? This crisis just got a whole lot more sinister! What will happen to us after Trump’s national emergency runs out at the end of the month? It’s time to think about putting into place medium-term plans for America.
Dear Readers welcome back to the JMS blog! Thanks for all your emails voicing concerns and asking for our advice. As a crisis management firm in Philadelphia, the JMS team is all too familiar with the panic you all feel. Thankfully, as seen on the home page, JMS is in the business of designing a robust plan to avoid and address organizational paralysis as effectively as possible. Consequently, the JMS team will continue its special edition Facing The Coronavirus series to discuss the different stages of crisis management the White House must account for as it rolls out new sets of policies to keep America safe.
The coronavirus pandemic highlighted how vulnerable the U.S. economy is, even though President Trump has been telling us all about it from the campaign trails in 2016.
Many called him a racist and even a bigot. Now a few years later, we are all seeing what he has decried all along: past trade deals were detrimental to the U.S. How many times have we heard him asking American companies to move production back to the U.S.?
Well, the time has come to put America first, wouldn’t say Dear Readers?
Isn’t it disturbing to see that although the coronavirus stroke China first, it completely disrupted countless manufacturing supply chains? So much so that we are all still desperately looking for daily necessities such as toilet paper and life-saving medical supplies needed to fight this pandemic such as masks and drugs. If this pandemic does not convince us all that it is in the country’s best interest to relocate medical supply chains from overseas back to the U.S., what else do we need?
The White House needs a real medium-term strategic response…. Our economic recovery depends on it! The JMS team advises American companies to use this two-week national emergency to explore how they can move medical and manufacturing supply chains back to the U.S. before the end of the year in the most cost-effective manner.
The time has come to sever ties with China and invest in the American brand.
As the Trump administration is seeking an $850 billion coronavirus stimulus package from Congress, this blog hopes that the White House has found a way to include corporate incentives to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. According to the JMS preliminary forecast for 2020, airlines will not be the only industry flagging by this summer if the White House is not strategic in the disbursement of the coronavirus stimulus package. The threat of recession will indeed become a self-fulfilling prophecy ushering an era of struggle for the nation. As some of us have not yet to fully recovered from the Great Recession of 2008, with the value of some homes or retirement accounts not quite back to early 2000s levels, this blog does not want the nation to come close to reliving that nightmare!
There you have it, Dear Readers! Thank you for stopping by our blog today. As always, we want to hear from you! What are your thoughts? Do you think that a recession is inevitable? What do you think of President Trump’s “big, bold” stimulus package to combat this Chinese virus?
