There are something like 500,000 open manufacturing jobs in the US right now.
I love manufacturing. The problems are interesting, it requires excellence in every aspect of business, including engineering, quality, facilities, marketing, finance, IT, human resources. It takes entrepreneurialism, capital and labor.
But, I think there are a lot more people in this country that want the US to increase domestic manufacturing than that want to manufacturer things themselves. People want to buy US made products, they don't want to themselves make products. A generalization I realize.

Near slave labor countries don’t those have expenses cause foreign business paid for it. They also steal or copy products with different name. Why business when overseas, now can we talk about EPA requirements importer don’t have to follow? Not fair trade why tariffs will equal plying fields. IMO anything coming from China should have 500% tariff and Mexico 200% due to wage and EPA standards they don’t have to meet.
