Made in America

One of the lessons learned from Covid was how vulnerable the US is in regards to supply chain. Many now see the value in manufacturing goods here at home instead of importing from China. Another reason to move back home is the shipping cost. A 40 foot container from China to the West Coast was $2,000 pre-pandemic and today it is $20,000. Those cost could be avoided if the products were made here in America. The public should let it be known that we are willing to pay more and this will put pressure on companies to come back home. Making this move over time would soften the sticker shock but it would make America safer by making America less dependent on countries like China. One of the financial upsides is high paying US manufacturing jobs. A good place to start would be the NBA. Also clothing, furniture and appliances.
