    If you live in the US and are not wealthy, stock up on rice, beans, lentils, and spices now. As much as you can reasonably afford. You will be glad you did.

    We had a 22 percent increase in domestic investment.

    That’s good, it really is, but that in and of itself doesn’t mean much. Industrial production left the US for a reason. What’s changed? The cost of living has only gone up, especially housing, which means the cost of domestic labor is still going to be much higher than many other countries, so how do these US producers plan to turn this new capital investment into a profitable enterprise? How are they going to profitably produce quality goods that Americans can actually afford? Are they only going to make luxury goods for the highest income Americans? If so, who’s going to serve the middle and the bottom income levels?

      Maybe slave labor. Or possibly something that actively steals wealth. Like, buying out mortgages then telling families to triple up in the house to cover less food and higher rent. Basically whatever you can imagine that makes things worse for most of us is probably the plan.
