Free traders do NOT want to discuss WHY manufacturing is coming back to the USA

51. I run a business, I don't fanatically try to save.

Quality also matters. I pay good money for good quality. Got any other misconceptions you'd like to push?

Your argument about big chains moving in is off-topic. It has nothing to do with moving jobs OUT of the country.

Your argument about moving jobs from one part of the country to the other is not relevant, either - if I move my jobs from California to Georgia but there is a NATIONWIDE living wage law, there is no benefit. If tariffs make it too expensive to move overseas, I'll simply stay where I'm at. You have no argument against this. Your only comeback is that other nations need to stay poor so businesses can have somewhere to move in case there are no tariffs: and in the OP, I have cited for you proof that this ship is also about to sail.

This is why you're wrong about equating offshoring with the sun coming up in the west: it is not inevitable, and it can be stopped.

Offshoring can be stopped with:
1) Tariffs (and this has worked; ever wonder why China imports so little from America?)
2) Currency devaluation (which offshoring does, in fact, cause)
3) Cheap labor becoming unavailable (a trend which is emerging now)

Germany has stopped offshoring with a number of stealth protectionist measures as well.

There are SO MANY WAYS to get around your "laws of human nature" that you really have no credible response to this.
