Maybe, but there is so much horizontal integration between US/Canada/Mexico (and whatever we send the Messicans to build stuff there is one more dollar Pablo need not send Western Union
) that it's hard to parse out what is what in that respect. As I've stated previously, I'm happy that stuff is made in N. America at this point, because almost nothing isn't touched at one time by products/processes on either side of the northern and southern border.
Not all illegal. But not American, either. Shipped over in droves to do the shittiest job possible for cheaper than we will do it. Just to send the money back home. Part of why QC has taken such a hit.
India is the new China. It's already happening on a huge scale.If your premise is correct, that we are not going to re-shore any of the low to mid level manufacturing, then those who are currently having the work done in China will still need to diversify their manufacturing base.
Those yellow bars are in dispute, and recently China has largely confirmed the yellow bars don't exist. The abandonment of the one-child policy came too late and culturally there is pressure to not have kids. Also, see the lop-sided nature of the M-F ratio. Chinese labor cost has skyrocketed relative to the 90s. The main reason why stuff is still being produced their is the cost in building out manufacturing capacity elsewhere. Some companies have, mainly to Vietnam and other SE Asian countries, as well as India, but the Indian .gov isn't as supportive as 80s/90s China was for this sort of thing. Some is coming back to Mexico, but the Mexican workforce is also expensive in relative terms.
See Peter Zeihan's work on this. I don't agree with some of his politics or some of his solutions, but I believe he is good at identifying the problems.
Go fund me this guyIf I won the big $ Powerball/Megamillions my idea was to make an amazon, but of only american made and sourced products. Not just a sticker tacked on at the end of manufacturing but a tried and tested and actually made here in good ole US of A.
This started 20 years ago with white dudes. Who trained Paki?
Not as large of scale as you think, certainly not compared to China. India has less interest in it as a nation, and the supply chain infrastructure isn’t there yet. Considering much of the low cost stuff is shipped on Chinese vessels the Chinese government isn’t keen on shifting the shipping routes, in fact they’ve actively excluded India. You can’t snap your fingers and build out manufacturing infrastructure, container ships, and support infrastructure. India doesn’t even have the port capacity to load/unload anything on the scale of what China does, and India has shown much unwillingness to partner with western companies the way China has historically.
But do you have a warranty?
A lot of the brain work and consulting is being replaced by AI now. We were all afraid of blue collar work being replaced by robots but it's the other way around.
No idea if this is any good, but it's there:If I won the big $ Powerball/Megamillions my idea was to make an amazon, but of only american made and sourced products. Not just a sticker tacked on at the end of manufacturing but a tried and tested and actually made here in good ole US of A.
Sure. Haven't needed it in the 3 years I've been in business, but I do offer it.
They're kind of lame on the selection. One brand of jeans is shown and I know of at least 5 that are 100% US or US sewnNo idea if this is any good, but it's there:
That was me. I haven't followed closely enough to know if those old hands are still around, but Origin definitely got while the getting was good. The craftsmen who taught the new breed there are aging out just like other tradesmen.

I bought from Marlin, Bobby Long, All Pro, Sky, BudBuilt and some others, but Trail Gear never got a penny from me. I don't remember who said it, "If Trail Gear sells it, I don't need it".
Thanks. Got them on the list. Some left out due to reasons.
Not sure why this isn't more well known and maybe someone already corrected it but Edelbrock has a large foundry not from from me here in SoCal. They also go from raw castings to finished parts for aftermarket and the OEM side. One product they do or did is the complete supercharger for one of the Dodge hot rods.
Is this for all their products? I remember an interview with an edelbrock exec 15 years ago in HRM where they said that they were getting raw manifold castings for some products (I thought the performer line) from Asia and doing the final machining and QC here. Maybe they have the capacity to do it all here now?
He does, and a stellar one at that.
I'm not that familiar. I wouldn't even know they had a foundry and inhouse machining had I not run into the manager of the machine shop. I was helping him with a vehicle for his daughter and got some of the story. I was very surprised to hear they had a foundry in SoCal and could come even close to staying in business due to CARB, and or being competitive enough for the aftermarket or OEM. The biggest surprise was them doing water pumps from start to finish.
If you are wrong, it isn't by much. I know a few folk in that industry and that warehouse footage turned into distribution centers with import labor. An example of something they do very large amounts of are the product displays for Home Depot that change all the time. Containers go from the port to their facility, they break them down and assemble and then load with product. They have a list of all the HD stores that get the goods, they ship them out. They do that for a wide variety of stores and products, all imported and done with imported labor. The company hires no one but management. They contract with temp agencies for labor and just pay the mark-up to not have to deal with the illegals.
