In this day and age of "just in time", scaling up production should not be an issue. They can't give them away forever, and if they do, it's a great value for the consumer. Protectionism is toxic, and is not the answer.
- icegreentea 15y agoNo, if anything, this day and age of just in time, scaling up production is harder if you suddenly cannot use your suppliers. Manufacturing, especially on such a large scale is heavily reliant on gained experience and what basically accounts to institutional knowledge/memory. The reason why some of the remaining American manufacturing remains profitable is because their combination of automation, and institutional knowledge. One is easy to replicate/replace, the other is much harder.
