[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never mind all the talk about tariffs and “bringing jobs back” and all that noise. The question that isn’t being asked is SHOULD manufacturing be brought back the US, and if it should be, why?

There are myriad reasons from pollution to the stock market for sending manufacturing offshore and keeping manufacturing out of the US. But no one is arguing bringing manufacturing back to the US beyond “jobs”.

What is the goal here?  [/quote]

When I lived in Salisbury we had 6 factories paying good wages.  Now there are none. Salisbury has turned into a Section 8 fentanyl town. It is sad.

What is wrong with wanting good jobs?[/quote]

Nobody has a problem with jobs. Notice how nobody is saying that at all.

Se are trying to explain to you that the factories of the 20th century and the associated “good jobs” are NOT coming back. It’s a fantasy. AI, robots and labor protections will not allow for profitable US manufacturing. The only way is of US workers get paid as little as someone in China today. Why would you want that for US workers?[/quote]
