Exactly this - people who talk about how "we outsourced manufacturing to China" are missing the point. We *outlawed* manufacturing through a thousand cuts each of which has broad vague support. On-shoring has nothing to do with China and everything to do with unwinding thathttps://twitter.com/balajis/status/1251945821496467456 …

Is that right? What are the cuts? - lack of suitable healthcare system - ? - ? What prevents a textile industry here besides the cost of labor?

"Cost of labor" assumes that wages are unrelated to productivity. Either microecon is wrong or higher wage employees are more productive so employee wages should never be a factor for a profit maximizing business.

American labor is less productive and higher cost than Asian labor for manufacturing. I don’t care what Econ “says”. You’re not addressing my question.

Pretty remarkable that anyone pays them then, isn't it?

Markets are not efficient and not everything can be made in China. You’re all wrong on this topic and arguing like a child.
