And for those who want a video, watch Scott Galloway on Anderson Cooper https://youtu.be/qg3JOR44r6M?si=Ggwfuuy-_lXjFUxq. Galloway notes that the US is only second to China in manufacturing and the Cato survey that found 80% of Americans want more manufacturing but 1-in-4 or 1-in-5 have any interest in going to work in manufacturing. And he quotes Dave Chappelle, "we want to wear Nikes, not make Nikes." (https://youtu.be/LAg1bDvuarc?si=-aLApcSdAk75d7Vr)

Back to the article, I'm no expert on tariffs, but explaining things to people and trying to understand where they "are" (I'm a social worker, so this is SW-speak) are two things I've spent my policy career doing. If I hear one more quilter (I make and sell one-of-a-kind quilts) say that the solution to the high price of quilting fabric (because of tariffs) is returning manufacturing to the US and Trump is our savior for recognizing this, well, I don't know what I'm going to do other than share the link to this blog.
