I’m trying to find ideas for what each reader of this question could do given a small loan that could re-“factory” there local economy.

I don’t have capital, but I think that some production canning equipment could be used in our local farms. I wonder if I can invest in that instead of an index fund.

And I have always wondered where all the little various size rubber grommets and stuff come from … like perhaps it would be interesting to start micro-factories with each just making one thing. Like drawing back manufacturing locally instead of waiting for mega-corps to do it.

I think asking this question is getting a list of stuff like that could be helpful to our various locales.
