Which means it ain’t coming back. Some idiot was blathering about how great it will be when textiles are made in the USA again. Uhh, how? “In the factories.” Dude, those were bulldozed or turned into warehouse space 30 ago.
And american workers just don't have the skills other countries do in producing specialized things like these anymore because they haven't done it in decades like other countries have.
So america will end up having worse quality products at a more expensive price because labor costs will be higher but with less expertise.
We can learn, but it doesn’t matter since there isn’t a rational reason to try and bring manufactured for current stuff back. That said, we need to, for more strategic purposes have production capabilities for a lot of things.
I agree. I’m quite sure every business has already done the numbers and it still makes more business sense to weather this storm than it is to go through all the hassle, upheaval and associated costs to bring it back to the US.
Exactly. All these “wins” will be the undoing of republicans in 2026, the presidency in 2028. It’s such an easy formula- “are you better off now than you were 4 years ago - if you’re not a billionaire that is?” People talk about how they’re for on party of the other, but they vote with their pocketbook. Trump knows he only has another 17 months to make all of this seem better before they get hammered in the mid terms.
Plus, why build a factory that’ll take 3-4 years to complete when the tariffs are going to be gone about the time it comes online? Besides, tariffs will increase the gross profit dollars for everyone as long as people buy their crap, bit of an unknown how that volume will be impacted. So the high costs will just means more profit dollars, and don’t think they won’t put a bit extra in for the big guy.
