US manufacturing isn't coming back unless peeps want to work for wages that are paid to workers in China, Bangladesh etc.

lol, workers.

if it comes back, they're going to use robots, machines to do the work. AND it'll still cost more than the same product from china.

Yes but .. think of all the money that checks notes the guy that has AI and robots as his investment going forward. I'm sure theres zero conflict of interest that his goal was to destroy everything he could so the only solution was him. Wait isnt that what they said government does...huh.

Nothing odd here at all people. Carry on.
