> So, if we do shift manufacturing back, we need to either be cool with shit-tons of pollution, or be searching desperately, now, for solutions to that pollution. If we want to bring manufacturing back, and we want to continue to with today's low prices, then we need to be cool with pollution. Dealing with byproducts can definitely be done. It just has costs and those costs have to be passed to the consumer in way way or another. And that's true regardless of the factory's physical location. It's just a lot easier for Americans to ignore when it's out of their sight.
