The way worldwide logistics and shipping is constructed makes this more more or less impossible.
The supply chains are based around china, india being the primary manufactoring.
- macspoofing 10y agoThat can change. The supply chain wasn't always based around Chinese and Indian manufacturing.
- my_username_is_ 10y agoWorking at a 'traditional manufacturing' company that makes a lot of products in Asia, I can see that we are already starting to move manufacturing back to America (where the bulk of our customers are), despite our supply chain still being deeply entrenched overseas. I would expect this trend to continue in the coming years.
- ThomPete 10y agoSure but we are talking 30 years of change.
- darkerside 10y agoDisruption is an abused term these days, but it applies precisely to this kind of thinking. When conventional wisdom says things are impossible, there is money to be made by making it possible.
- ThomPete 10y agoSure but disrupting is much cheaper when it comes to technology than when it's about physical space. But sure.
