I thought having a national identity was racist, and now you’re saying we don’t have enough of it?

But US companies cannot make everything in the US. The industrial base was off-shored.
Sure they can, they just won’t, because it’s cheaper to make in China. And that’s the whole point of the tariffs, to level the playing field and make US manufacturing more competitive.
And who is going to buy all this US made stuff?
Americans of course. The US is still the biggest market in the world.
Companies whose products are entirely made in the U.S. could benefit: “At least in the short term, employment would likely rise there, because those folks will see more demand,” says Holzer. That could mean cumulative hikes of tens of thousands or even a few hundred thousand jobs added in the next three or four months, he says.
This is the entire point of the tariffs.
Also, I’m not entirely sure why they put the short-term qualifier there. In fact, it would seem that companies who make everything in the US would stand to benefit long-term, and also that more companies will invest in domestic production, which will create more jobs in the long run.
Of course they can, ever heard of greenhouses?
Also, places like the Imperial Valley have ideal growing climate throughout the winter and crank out a massive amount of produce.
You should really do a bit more research before posting such nonsense.
