36654, great reply. I figured I'd get slammed against the wall as being anti-American labor for my comments....
Although I agree that there are many products that will never re-shore back to the U.S. such as in the garment industry, there are many items that may qualify for movement back to the U.S., and manufacturers have been building business cases to support landed cost vs. domestic manufacturer. A ground swell, no, but the leaks are starting in the dam. Supply chain length coupled with shipping costs are driving the train now. As far as altruistic, I would not accept that as a label for my position. Assuming world governments can keep from blowing each other up, global trade will continue to increase, and we cannot expect to sell our widgets or harvests, or innovation to a world market without expecting to open our consumer markets to world products. It helps keep us on our toes, and protects the consumer from not having any choice but a poor choice. Then, it's up to the individual consumer to make his or her own choice of product, based on their research or experience. If they don't wish to research a purchase before buying, then let the buyer beware......
from a business point of view . I'm just venting
