Some industries, such as certain types of clothing manufacture, are dependent on sweatshop style labor, because there's no technology capable of substituting for the labor. If you want those factories here, you're advocating reestablishment of sweatshops in America.A year ago, I would have agreed with this. Now, some bright people built a smart sewing machine that sews by counting the threads in the fabric. Smart cutting already exists, so we may be on the brink of bespoke clothing for all, and all at a low-low price. Of course, like all industries employing smart machines, few workers will be needed.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
