If the factories do go back here, in order to sell something cheaper than tariffed goods, the factory workers will be paid way below the minimum wage. Expect strikes and people walking out before a month is over. Then you will realize why things like shirts and toys are made overseas, not here at home.
Because as it stands, it's cheaper for Hasbro and other companies to just pass the tariff on to the consumer than bring the factories home.
Obviously a tiny sample size of one company, and about a week, but this was an interesting experiment. A shower head maker created a Made In The USA version of a product, which cost 85% more.
"He said that after several days and more than 25,000 visitors, he sold 584 lower-priced shower heads and not a single US-made version."
No one will be buying a $32 Made In The USA flag t-shirt from Old Navy.
