Have you seen “IT”?
By the way, this is showing you how you bring jobs back to the USA. It’s not a magic wand, it’s common sense.
except it's not bringing back jobs to the US. it's just currently raising prices for people in the US who are now paying an additional tax.
Tarifs are considered one fo the worst levers in international trade and are mostly reserved as punitive against foreign nations. All Tarif's end up doing is raising your prices on goodds that cannot easily have their manufacture moved
In regards to computers, a lot of the manufacture, especially of raw resources don't occur in the US because those resources don't exist in the US. No amount of Tariffs can suddenly shift the earth's materials.
as for large scale manufacturing, this is gone overseas because fo the cost of labour. Corporations are always going to min/max where they can get away with. Tarrifs aren't going to fundamentally affect that as corporations will pass those costs along to us, in the end result, it's us who pay more.
if you truly want the US to be competitive in manufacturing industries, you need to first, Invest in those industries locally so that manufacturing itself CAN be done. No point with the mindless rhetoric if the infrastructure required doesn't exist. Secondly, it's so damn cheap to bild overseas because the labour costs are pushed artificially low by governments and agencies who do not put employee rights near the same level we do. If you want our rates to be competitive so that using labour here seems reasonable, you need to demand that our trade partners honour the same human and employee rights that we have, or find other places to trade with.
Simply put, the world is about global trade with no one nation capable of producing the entirety of it's needs/wants and closing doors and playing tinpot dictator and attacking allies with trade tariffs is sheer madness.
