Tesla and Spacex are not perfect corollaries but they have shown that it is possible to produce things in the US at a lower cost so long as some level of quality is an important aspect of the product. It requires a level of competence that these thin marketing shells of companies like Nike etc cannot achieve though. The underlying problem is that they have lost any know how about how shoes are made, their only remaining competency is how to push slop down the marketing chute.
