We can reshore American manufacturing

The author, Matthew Chang, previously discussed the benefits of manufacturing electric trucks in the US, and many companies are following suit due to tariff shifts and shipping complexities. However, retrofitting existing factories to full US manufacturing is a complex task, especially for companies with over 1,000 employees. Moving to US manufacturing brings higher visibility, faster response time, and higher resilience to supply chain disruption. To make the shift, companies should prioritize refining and raw materials, strategic offshore suppliers, and government-backed capital for extracting minerals and metals. They should also utilize domestic suppliers, reduce offshoring of technical staff, and become power independent through solar and nuclear power production. The author suggests creating a 4-year completion bonus for military vets and hiring them whenever possible. To support Made in America manufacturing, the author proposes policy changes such as encouraging shipbuilding, transformation plans for government-funded R&D, and energy rebates to US manufacturers. The author also suggests avoiding foreign ownership of the food supply chain, creating fair competition for government contracting, and making health supplements and homeopathic medicines tax deductible. Ultimately, the author believes that better education, self-reliance, health, and incentive structures are needed to support Made in America manufacturing.
