It will still help to some extent. Getting more domestic manufacturing going here will help even more.
Some of that stuff was outsourced so long ago nobody here remembers how to do it.
example, clothing manufacturing.
Sure, there are one off places that do it here.
40 years ago there were votech programs at nearly every rural high school that taught clothing construction. My own high school had such a program.
There were manufacturing facilities all around the country that did piecework for Sears, Penneys, Macys, Bloomingdales,... my town had a factory that did piecework for Sears.
There were a LOT of women, then, over 20 who knew how to operate a sewing machine. W/o being taught in order to ‘get’ the job.
We no longer teach sewing machine operations. At all.
We teach how to put condoms on a cucumber, and mentally XY can really BE women.
It will require a Marshall plan to bring most of that stuff back.
And that will be a LOT of money.
MUCH easier said than done.
Do you really think Millenials will sit, cpl hundred to a facility, and sew shirt sleeves or collars for $12/hr? We’ll see I guess...
