Yes, as well as simply embracing the reality that certain types of manufacturing are no longer feasible in the United States (and the types of manufacturing that ARE feasible generally don't require massive plants with thousands of workers). The 1950s are not coming back.

Technology has contributed a lot to this, especially with automation.

However, having to outsource to other countries for cheap labor is because of arrogant corporations. I have no problem with manufacturing evolving and creating more jobs in the process but not at the expense of labor having to see their jobs shipped overseas.
