Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I'm not really sure what you're saying. People have complained about "out-sourcing" jobs to China or India for a long time, because it means unemployment or fewer/lesser paid jobs for the people in america. Which, i guess, checks out economically. People have asked for labor to be "home-shored" (brought back to america) so that they can have jobs again. I don't see the problem?
And what about this point?
What's fundamentally stopping the people in the US from re-learning these things themselves? I don't really see why that would be impossible.
no profit, dude
think of the capital expenditure required and potential profit gained as a percentage (it's most likely negative unless tariffs go up by few hundreds or even thousands of percentages and all loopholes are closed), and that's given the tarrifs stay, which is also unlikely.
No American will do that work at a labor cost acceptable to the American consumer. Even if you were somehow able to "reshore" those industries (can't, not a knowledge issue, it's a capitalism issue), they would immediately go under
How exactly do you "relearn" to have natural resources that you physically don't have? Sure, you could process the materials that you need to use in America, but that won't change the fact they need to bring in from overseas.
