I know where you’re coming from, but I’m not sure turning back the clock 20 year would be enough.
All of todays issues had its roots in decisions and policies from decades earlier, including from 20 years ago. Even if the US stopped, someone else would’ve stepped in and taken advantage; and at best delay things a generation.
Recall that best practices were to offshore labor, and that was going on since the 1980s and earlier.
Hell, even 25 years ago the tech industry was bellyaching about Republicans categorizing many hardware and software as munitions.
And of course the peak of the labor-offshoring happened around 20 years ago, and many Americans even then believed that a free-market society==free society.
We’re only now collectively coming to terms with that false premise.
