Do you think you just have to flip a switch somewhere in buttfuck nowhere Wisconsin and all of a sudden you get a full fledged factory and the trained workers needed to compete with China on low quality/high volume products?

Even with triple digit tarrifs Chinese goods would still be cheaper.

No, I don’t think there is a switch. It will be a long and difficult process. But your argument seems to be that, just because it’s difficult, we should just give up. I don’t believe in that argument. Building things is always hard.
