Is manufacturing job gonna be coming back to US?
US is decoupling from China for all reasons and domestic unemployment rate is higher than ever, what's a better time to do so?

trump is pandering to his white nigger voting base. manufacturing won't come back because it would cost too much. industrial machinery is insanely expensive, and the cost of american labor is so great that the products would double or triple in price.

>yeah you're right, innovation is hard and it's more fair to just let those poor third worlders make some money too :)
Get fucked, manufacturing jobs are coming back whether you like it or not. Will things cost more? Sure, at first. But AI/automation will allow them to eventually be produced cheaper in the US than abroad. And for every job brought back stateside 10-100 chinese slaves are replaced with an American middle class person supporting American middle class a family.

remind me again how automating jobs benefits the american middle class, even ignoring that the products will likely cost more due to higher energy/raw materials costs in the USA versus some chink shithole country.
>B-B-BUT THEY'LL NEED ELECTRICIANS AND MECHANICS!!!!
a handful of mechanics and electricians can keep an entire production line running. i know because i wasted 3 years of my life working on a medium density fiberboard production line, the largest one in fucking north america. the company spent millions of dollars on new machinery to automate away jobs. in the 3 years i worked there they axed a couple dozen jobs at a mill that employed 500-600 people. those jobs never came back.

What do you mean? The US manufacturers more than it ever did before but the industries are less labour intensive. Unemployment was around all time modern lows before corona. Most people won't want to work in shit factories for minimum wage to make cheap toys anymore than McDonalds, the jobs Chinese have access to aren't better quality.
>And for every job brought back stateside 10-100 chinese slaves are replaced with an American middle class person supporting American middle class a family.
But America has a relatively small population and most people are rich whereas most of the world has a big population and is poor. Where's the room for growth in America? You're going to export stuff to Africans? There's a reason rich countries move towards service economies.

And to add on, China is further in the process of automation than the States by a bit of a margin. Hoping for the return of manufacturing in the States is a total backward move. Innovation is the way, ie Silicon Valley. But that would require effort, something Americans lack sorely.

Nah, they are not coming back. If they do truly decouple from china, they will just starting using another similar country like India, makes 0 sense to pay retard burgers higher wages to do the same shit just because muh jobs

the unfortunate truth is that the vast majority of the population doesn't have the intelligence, education, and "polish" to function in the upper echelons of a service based or technology based economy. manufacturing was the one shot they had at a middle class life and now it's gone, forever. this is why the majority of new jobs created over the past 20 years are $10-15/hour wagie jobs in retail, customer service, and warehouses.

i got confused for a second by this question since the US still has a massive and growing manufacturing industry.
are you asking if people will stop buying cheap chinese parts? no.
