Very few Americans work in real industry so very few knows just how big a gap there is between the two.
To put things into perspective, my company recently received a quote for a machined part from a local North American company to save a few days of shipping, they wanted $5,000 for rushed 3 day turn. The same part from JLCCNC with 3 day turn plus shipping cost only $20, and the crazy thing is even if we machine the part in-house we'd have to pay more for just the material.
Yeah, exactly, they just do not know.
They are totally clueless and in the dark.
Walk around factories, get an idea on costs, and there is no argument.
If there are tariffs from Trump 2.0, like who cares.
