The point is you can’t just shift and replicate so easily.

Same applies whether it’s farms or even clouds.

You downplay and make it sound easy. It’s all great in theory and to talk about it.

Imagine if everyone moved assembly to the US. The demand would skyrocket salaries and other costs with supplying not keeping up and then you’d be paying even more than the tariffs itself.

Assembly plants are easier to spin up than, say fabs. Foxconn is doing exactly that:

Not sure how many jobs that translates to. Their assembly lines are incredibly automated, so many of them require advanced degrees will pay well. There’s probably also some manual assembly work too.

Let’s see when it actually happens.
