This will change after this. As will our immigration policy to address it. It probably won't be overnight, but we'll certainly see significant deglobalization from it. But it will take decades.This is a great vision. and one I agree with. But there is a significant snag with it: workers. The US does not have the workforce domestically to produce all that stuff (and more) regardless of cost.
before this pandemic, there were hundreds of thousands of jobs — good jobs — from truck drivers to welders to factory workers to skilled trades to... that were infilled. We (had) the jobs but we didn’t have the employees who could pass a drug test /criminal background and show up every day to work for a decent wage. If we try (and we should) to re-engage in manufacturing in this country, we have some very basic questions to ask and answer: where will we get the millions of new workers to fill those jobs?
