The whole plan was to move production back to the US. The thing though is, that you can't make Americans sit and sew Jeans that sell sell for $15 or assemble electronics for $6/hr
Maybe you could 100 years ago, but there is s a reason why we trade across the world and its not because we are kind. It is because it makes companies more money.
This will be mostly messy for the US. The rest of the world now has tarrifs on the US. But US now has tarrifs on the whole world. Any other country can look into expanding in new markets now, but the US has shut all its doors
Oh they know that Americans won't work at factories. That's not their goal.
They want to bring manufacturing back the the US, it just won't be humans doing the manufacturing, it will be robots.
There is a reason why this is not the case already. It's more expensive.
Not if you have prison labor. Then robots are less needed just jail more peeps and send em to the new gulags.
If you jail the robots then you don't have to pay them either.
Do you want skynet? Because that’s how you get skynet.
