That's great but, honest question: why?
E: LOL downvotes for asking a question. Never change Lemmy.
From a business perspective: more control over the manufacturing process and less risk of getting hit by tariffs
Less risk of tariffs on China, less risk of supply chain disruptions like with the pandemic, takes advantage of incentives from the US government, and is something that is cool to advertise.
How does being in the US give you more control over manufacturing?
Tariffs are not new.
Tariffs change. Especially when Trump or another nutcase is in office.
Tariffs in general aren't new, but Trump's tariffs were applied haphazardly and poorly determined because he doesn't understand what they are. Avoiding that uncertainty entirely is a good idea.
Not about being in the us specifically. But about keeping your manufacturing near your entire supply chain.
But the uncertainty of what will come soon for tariffs is
Because it's in the US?
Yeah I got that when I put "in the US" in the comment you replied to.
It answers the question for you.
Nice way to be rude.
