Why don’t we make more things in the USA?

Unions, tree-huggers, lawsuit sharks and other democRAT dirtbags.

What is the reason why we don’t build more manufacturing plants here?

Let me guess, if I may? Taxes, regulations and unions?

JIT works when things are stable and while citizens suffer under the imposition of the ‘Great Communist Reset’ there will be no stability until one side or the other wins. Communists are nothing but a shake-down mafia who use the threat of destruction and economic warfare to seize power and wealth so there will be no stability with them in power and trying to consolidate it.

Just ask yourselves, would JIT be a smart strategy in a tumultuous prewar environment, let alone war?

Very close...
Government regulations are the largest hinderence...

Unions, not so much salary, but work rules and bribes...

Taxes, not so much, because those costs are usually passed along to consumers

So, if you want to bring back manufacturing, you need to get the government off the backs of the manufacturers.
If the government will not back down, then you have no choice but to offshore, because it will not be made here.

The only traitors, as one person so elegantly puts it, is the government of the USA, hindering the economy of the USA, resulting in the USA losing jobs.

Let me ask you a serious question.. Why don’t we make more things in the USA? What is the reason why we don’t build more manufacturing plants here?

EASY ANSWER: Because Trump had the election stolen from him.

Trump's desire and policy moves to bring manufacturing back to the USA is also the key REASON both parties cheated Trump of victory.

That’s another problem. Overseas production would promote a JIC model, while domestic production would allow less risk in a JIT model...which is the opposite direction from the post I was responding to.
