@crown9413 One problem with sending manufacturing overseas is that we make ourselves dependent on the other countries who do our manufacturing. We saw the issue with this during the pandemic when China threatened to stop exporting medications and other necessities. They DID slow down the export of many goods, including things like parts for water treatment plants (my husband works for a water treatment facility company). Items that formerly took 1 to 2 weeks now take 6 months to a year to receive. Another problem is national security; without a manufacturing base in country, we're dependent on other countries to manufacture weapons, and what happens if we run afoul with them politically? They aren't going to send us weapons if we're at war or close to it. The Pentagon has been making noises about going to war with China - think about the repercussions of that! Another problem is that the best working class jobs don't exist anymore. When most working class jobs are server jobs, what does that mean for the future?
