Can someone explain to me how the US can reshore manufacturing without dramatically lower their standard of living? Maybe they can subsidize some essential industries but I can’t see a path to do it for everything.

A (very) partial solution is to build the factories at places where the cost of living for the workers is low. This way, the workers can maintain a higher standard of living at a constant salary.
