Great policy and we should follow suit. We should also be paying families (by tax break or otherwise, some kind of incentive) to have more children so we don't need to import foreign workers to work in these factories when they come home.

We need to bring back manufacturing base, If we don't do it now we'll be at odds if/when the war goes hot with China.

I think the lack of PPE and medications was an eye opener for a lot of people. And China stepping in and stopping 3M from shipping their own inventory out of China hopefully made the rich fuck CEOs realize that although exploiting slave labour is nice for them, dealing with a totalitarian communist government still has enough downsides to maybe make them reconsider doing manufacturing there. While it's nice to hope they'll bring jobs back home, chances are better that India or Vietnam will be the next spots for them to setup shops.

I seriously hope that people realized that having our supply chains for critical goods inside a hostile entity was a bad fucking move. Of course they're probably just going to shift it to another country, if government throws out a mandate about china. I'd like to hope they'd pull them back home not just for the jobs but for the independence it would bring should supply lines be disrupted again.
