It’s not just the cost. It’s the time it would take for some industries to move to the US. The textile industry isn’t moving anywhere within the next 3.5 years. That machinery isn’t just waiting to be turned on in America. They need all new everything or need to disassemble the machinery and transport it across the ocean and train up a whole new workforce to operate it. Most electronic manufacturers aren’t going to be moving either. The pharmacal companies can move no problem.
Plus the supply lines. I heard it said that TSMC is the king not just because they have the best equipment and scientists and engineers in the world, but because they have a very well optimized supply line that allows they to buy incredible amounts of raw materials and turn them into incredible amounts of chips and ship them all over the world.
