Ditto in my hometown. The jobs left because our labor intensive industries could not compete with super cheap foreign labor. Almost 100% of textile jobs left.
I am afraid that the situation has not changed because China has reinvented slavery. And, tariffs will not cure that

Problem. Neither will AI.
Over the last 60 years our standard of living has gradually declined but the standards outside of the U.S. have substantially increased. So, if we stop rewarding China and shift our suppliers to countries that play nice, tariffs will level the field and allow for fair competition and bring back our jobs. It is a win-win if we just have honorable intentions on all sides. Fair competition creates productivity, efficiency, and cost effective business practices instead of corruption.
We have genius mechanical engineering and computer engineering. China steals our technology. They will always use slavery to compete because they aren’t creative or innovative. They are only good at undercutting the US and lying with creative accounting. The CCP is totally relying on globalism to level competition. Communism destroys the drive to excellence.
I would LOVE to see the return of American textiles! And home economics for girls. One of the joys in my life as a teen and young mother was fabric stores and creating one of a kind outfits for myself and my girls. The polyesters of the early 70's destroyed that. Whenever I can, I always wear cotton......but now it comes from India.
You are correct! I have lamented the demise of Shop Class in our schools. Teaching students the basics of woodworking and other hand crafts is important in stirring up creative instincts and it led me to realize that my future was in engineering.
Home Economics did the same but more geared to the girls. Today I can see both sexes in Shop or Home Ec. Hands on experiences are key in lieu of “feel good, mind altering” political games. A return to Civics classes would be a nice idea too. No more 1619 or CRT revisionist history.
