I too thought China was child labor and deplorable living conditions. Boy was I wrong. Their infrastructure is well kept up, highways, even simple guard rails were impressive. Their is no garbage along the highways either. I found it funny a wind turbine manufacturing site was deserted. If you have the patience to watch this dude check it out. It is an inside country look and was interesting.

That's good news Ed.
The USA manufactured boots they sale are a 10 plus in materials, workmanship, and warranty.
I do challenge some of yinz to watch the video I just posted. I normally don't do that. But my eyes were opened on the interior, infrastructure, and people. Alright I'm done rambling on

John Deere is the first one that comes to my mind.
Many will run afoul of tariffs. Did anyone see that we are making semiconductors in Arizona now. It takes quite a few years into even begin to open a facility as all equipment is made by the company itself. You can't go buy a semiconductor making machine. This is because of the guy people love to hate. I care not about the personalities, all I care about is my people and our country. We can also try to be good citizens of the world. Most people are, it is the governments that screw that up.

Well believe it or not Dallas. The coal industry is currently a dead dinosaur here in Ohio and Pa. It's a damn shame as it is a plentiful resource that we have clean burning technology for. If it wasn't for the China exports of coal. What little bit of industry left would of been debunked by now . I've also learned the WV and Virginia deep mines are hiring.Go figure

China does have some impressive parts of their manufacturing sector. It will take a while for the people of China to get to our standard of living. Some factories produce parts for Honda, the Japanese will not accept sub par parts or quality. So it is possible, Also possible to make crap too.

It seemed as though it was to raise the prices making the corporations more money, it is to dissuade companies from offshoring. Also to penalize those that already have.
Yes, we are talking about the same thing.
But to prevent outsourcing, and to punish those who have already outsourced, it is you as a consumer in the US who is going to pay the tariff, with your own money.
Remember that it takes time, years, before your nation has the capacity to produce what has been outsourced.

Otherwise, I agree that a tariff will make a company think twice before outsourcing

Absolutely it will take time, like planting a tree. Should have done it years ago, but we didn't, so it will have to be today.

There is no free lunch, but nobody is getting by while flipping burgers. Those jobs were for high school kids when I was a teen.
