If you pick the second, the only pain is the transition from the first to the second, and that can be temporary.
Can be temporary? Temporary is probably at least 2 years. American companies would need a huge cash investment, find and hire qualified workers, work out supply chains and logistics and hope they still can compete with slave labor countries. This has been going on after the affects of WW 2 ended and is not going to be fixed overnight
