YES.

And bring manufacturing BACK.

Several years ago I was looking for garden gloves...silly little thing...BUT I COULD FIND NONE...N.O.N.E...THAT WASN’T MADE IN CHINA.

I hate to sound nutso, but that really steamed me.

For better or woise, that ship sailed decades ago. I’d say the 80’s were the dividing line for imports vs domestic goods. For low tech products, most companies provided their knowhow to local producers, then subcontracted their production to those companies. Glove production will come back when we are the low cost producer. At that point it might be a mixed blessing.
