Yeah this is kind of a smoothbrain take, since a lot of American-made things these days (what there are of them) often use some parts - or maybe even one part - made overseas that they import. So lots of American-made stuff will be sitting idle waiting for just a few parts to arrive.
All the more reason for those small parts to be made in America with mom and pop shops, as it used to be.
Something isn't American made unless it is 100% American made.
The fatal flaw of NAFTA and why Teump created the USMCA to replace NAFTA is that China and other cheap child slave labor countries would make all the parts, ship the parts to Canada and Mexico, Canada and Mexico would do final assembly, stamp it made in Canada or Made in Mexico, and the finished products got into the US using this loophole.
If ANY parts are made overseas, bring those jobs back. Make small businesses boom again.
The entire term "Rust Belt" is the result of what NAFTA did. Thousands of factories closed due to NAFTA.
And to a question I see coming, "Americans won't work for such low wages." No shit, we don't exploit children in slave labor camps.
So, instead of every fortune 500 company designing all products with Failed Obsolescence so that everyone's major appliances last 3 years and a day, one day after the warranty expires, maybe we can build shit to last like we used to so that the total lifetime cost of such things is lower. Instead of buying 4 refrigerators in 20 years, buy just one good one that lasts 20 years.
But muh technology! Trust me, you don't want your refrigerator knowing more about your life than you do. If your refrigerator knows, "they" know.
