In an alternate reality where Clinton didn't destroy Haiti and crater the midwest in a shock deindustrialization, what would really be worse right now. What did we get out of Clinton's radicalism?

This is why I think large cities are doomed. Once you go robot there's no reason to stick around and pay high rents. A surgeon in Lincoln will be just as good as a surgeon in Manhattan.

Large cities aren't manufacturing-based (or surgery-based).

Working with a client who is trying to source a raw material here in the USA It's a new launch so they're not willing to purchase a full truck of the raw, so no USA manufacturers will work with them Now they're going to China for the raw & every plant they've talked with will

Do you happen to know how prices vary; US manfs v Chinese manfs?

It's about even right now.

If this is the case it's hard to understand why a manuf here in the US would not sell a small amount of product to a start up when there's the potential of adding a new steady buyer in the near future. Lack of foresight, perhaps?
-
High switching costs and lack of supplier networks.

The raw material is a commodity and easy to manufacturer. China, S. Korea, Turkey, Germany, India, Indonesia & other countries make it. Switching costs are zero. This is literally stupidity and shortsighted. In a few months USA mfg will be asking for the business & be told no

Less known is the fact that China is, itself, speeding this up with it's industrial policies, which basically seek to phase out apparel and textile manufacturing as fast as possible (to double down on hardware, renewables, robotics, etc).

Moreover, robots making clothes will need lots of technicians and maintenance workers to keep production functioning smoothly. If the US actually invests in these things, automation and manufacturing reshoring can really be a win-win for US and Asia.

Garment manufacturing is shrinking fairly quickly in China and the vast majority is moving to even poorer places. Bangladesh will likely be the largest garment exporter within the next few years.

I hope you realize that as soon as we fix the "vanishing middle class" issue our politics are going to revolve entirely around which party will be able to produce the best new season of Game of Thrones
