To set the record straight, it has been demand from consumers who wanted low prices and stockholders who demand maximum stock appreciation for 4+ decades...that resulted in off-shoring/foreign manufacturing.
The fact that some American industries, such as automotive manufacturing, thought they could build vastly inferior products and shame people into "buying American"... exacerbated the problem.
