While you’re not wrong about people’s motivations, or the market’s sentiments, I do think this isn’t the right take on globalised industry. There’s no need to close US factories and move workers - it will happen naturally. For example, nobody closed US auto factories to move production to Japan - the Japanese out-competed the US on price and quality. The same is just starting to happen with electric cars now. Greed may have accelerated this transition, but it was inevitable.
