You’re the only one making assumptions here. You have no clue what my interests are or my background is.

Assumption 1: That Americans want those manufacturing jobs

2: Those manufacturing jobs still exist and are not simply automated away

3: People will still want to buy those goods at 30-1000% higher price points

4: That the onshoring of the lowest-quality jobs on the planet will pay enough to overcome the new inflated prices of everyday goods

I assume that people don't know what they're talking about on this subject because 100% of people I’ve seen defending the policy make dumb arguments, while approximately every single economist on the planet argues the opposite.
