People took Adam Smith too literally. If a multinational can save a few cents a ton by moving all manufacture of Product X to Country Y, then it is best to move all the manufacture there according to them.

Also the JIT (Just In Time) nonsense really bit us when the lockdowns occurred.

We claim that our military exists to protect us in times of war, and that agencies like FEMA exist to protect us in times of catastrophe, so why can't we claim that we need local manufacture to protect us in times of scarcity?

You want to hear a good one? When Daddy bush was Prez the bureaucrats in the Pentagon were pushing “just in time ammunition”. Fortunately wiser heads prevailed.
