Too much impedance is outsourced to Asia these days …

It's a complex problem, there's a lot of resistance from consumers who react badly to the price of domestic goods. Maybe tariffs will induce more demand, but I'm not sure the capacity is there in the first place.

  Yeah I think OP should relax, do some yoga or meditating. Repeat with me: Ohmmmm

    You couldn't resist it could you.

      Not sure watt you guys are on about. Not to be too negative here or polarise the debate, but I remember the electrifying experience as a child to source local products instead of relying on imports from faraday countries. I guess technology has lost some of its radiance and has just become a mains to an end, to feed the addiction.

        It must be insulating to be so cagey. Does it hertz?

  That could be tested with a Vector Demand Analyzor.

  You can reduce the resistance if you outsource to two countries in parallel.

    It gets complex once an accumulator is involved.

  I'm hoping it induces the reversal in reckless culture of consumption and waste and longer end-product life cycles on the companies that design and manufacture them.

  It's not really a problem of "resistance", it's more about purchasing power, common and avoiding feeling ripped off. People buy stuff competitively and that's it. There are modifiers, notably being rich enough that regular items prices make no difference to you, so you can buy all from your own country without affecting you too much. But even if you are middle class, buying most items at a higher price just because they are from your country is just a waste of money from an individual utilitarian point of view. It directly affects people and they always favor that, even if in the long run doing so might have a second order effect that will affect them in worse ways. Tariffs, taxations and special legislation is actually the only way to make some product competitive for your own country. Especially when they are a participant in the trade willing to take a hit just to corner the market. This is basically what China did for many things, so here we are...
