I fully agree. We can buy screws and nuts that can be made anywhere and produce our own value added products.

True. Most of the manufacturing seems to be mid - high value add manufacturing. (Ie washing machines, ventilation, electrical, etc)

Literal commodity manufactured parts will be more global.

I think you’d be surprised. Europe has a quite robust manufacturing base compared to its “cloud hosting” base.

It’s sort of a mirror image of the U.S. yes we can make things here, even at a competitive price, but we’re really behind on cloud offerings.

I mean you can buy a gun for 200 USD at Walmart. Lawyers cost 200 USD per hour.
