It is my life's work both in terms of education and experience. I'm not sure how to answer such a question.

The rude one thinks that the dismantling of manufacturing that has been going on for years now can be reversed in a short time.

It took my father working for a company almost 4 years to move a steel mill from here to Chile. That was existing equipment. When places are shut down here the equipment is dismantled and sent somewhere else, usually overseas, or it is busted up for scrap to be sold to the Chinese.

To build a new mill might take a decade due to the shift in resources that has take place.

Assuming everybody else is not trying to build a steel mill at the same time. About a quarter of the raw steel used in this country is imported.
