Emont cites one example in his story, where it took robots in a Nike factory in Mexico around eight months to learn how to place the iconic Nike swoosh on a shoe using minimal human labor.

So now, Emont reports, Nike may be facing some tough choices. Make much simpler shoes that are easier to mass produce, or reconsider the efforts to automate manufacturing and move more of its production to the U.S. There are some clear upsides. Producing shoes in the U.S. would mean products spend less time in transit and get into stores sooner.

But a former executive who worked with Nike told Emont, in order for Nike to pull it off, the company will need to, quote, have deep pockets and some patience because it's not going to happen fast. Now to California, where last night, former Vice President Kamala Harris gave her first major speech since leaving the White House and losing the 2024 election.

Harris spoke at a 20th anniversary event for Emerge, a group that aims to support and train Democratic women who are running for office. As The Washington Post reports, it was Harris's 2002 run for San Francisco district attorney that helped inspire the formation of the group. And last night, she called for more women to enter politics.

Notably, Harris didn't make any major announcements about what will be coming next in her political career. That's despite lots of speculation that she's considering a 2026 run for governor of California.

Harris has reportedly set a deadline to make that decision by the end of the summer, though she hasn't ruled out another run for president, according to interviews with allies, friends and former aides. If she runs for governor, some political analysts say she would be a frontrunner in what is already a crowded field.
