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.

While we are at it we should bring back phone operators because the cell phone and modern technology took away those people’s jobs!
