Bringing “manufacturing back to the US” is a fool’s errand. The future of manufacturing is automation, not jobs.
people don't want a job, they want money and purpose
most jobs barely deliver either
> people don't want a job, they want money and purpose
And society will not give them any of that without a job.

> most jobs barely deliver either
And no job delivers even less.
Until the 90s, that's the trajectory we were on. For life to constantly get better whilst human servitude is lessened over time.
We should be getting ever shorter work weeks and earlier retirement ages. It's the entire point of technology.
