The US can’t compete with countries that pay their workers at 2 or 3 dollars an hour…. Americans will not work for these wages. These businesses are not coming back OR if they do the American consumer will have to pay much, much higher prices that more Americans can’t afford….
This it a World economic and to think we can just change things that is plan Stupid…. It will not happen… without pain for us and our families for many, many years….
We need to accept the World economy as it is…. The U S was and still is the strongest nation why rock the boat now…

The American consumer was tricked by large American companies that moved off shore to avoid paying Americans and to avoid UNIONS that kept wages high. We made China STRONG and now a MONSTER which competes against the US militarily. And WHY ------to make a FEW, already rich American top 1% types richer that showed no loyalty or patriotism to America. .........If America had spent money to build US factories that used AI and robotics to manufacture products that would be cheaper than off shored products -----then we would NOT be in this MESS.
