I think that the really weird (economically speaking) thing is that the US has built a global order that has made them incredibly successful at an aggregate level, and it's all being thrown away carelessly for goods production. Like, I agree that more manufacturing in the US would be better overall, but the way in which this is being done seems really poorly thought through.
