There&#x27;s a great amount of manufacturing in the US. In fact, the US is the world&#x27;s second largest manfacturer.<p>The reality is you can&#x27;t open a manufacturing shop in a hip and gentrified urban neighborhood for &quot;cool points&quot; and expect to keep costs down. You want factories in poorer rural areas, not a place where the media home sale price is close to $700,000.<p>The China or bust mentality serves big business, but the reality is that you can do domestic manufacturing at a decent cost if you desired it.
