Tariffs alone are not going make the US a producer of competitive goods!
Our infrastructure is crumbling and needs to updated.
Too many of us want to make money without working hard.
What do we make? Brand name goods made elsewhere, Software (deliberately insecure for NSA), Boeing planes that now don't have a good reputation. The only good example I can think of is Tesla vehicles.
An odd one, some Mercedes trucks are made in Tuscaloosa, Alabama even if you buy one in Europe. When that factory first started production, there were some quality issues, but they seem to be better now.
But the Big 3's cars (not trucks) are uncompetitive... and the Big 3 make a lot in Mexico and Canada... while Toyota and Honda have US plants for the US market.
Another thing that's backwards: Lenovo builds a lot of ThinkPads in North Carolina... but Lenovo is a Chinese company. While most American brands other than some Dell and HP are made in China...
Jack Daniels is oddly cosmopolitan and is all over the place in Europe.
