It
takes about 2 years for a company to build a manufacturing plant. The media
does a lousy job of tracking this. US-Based and Foreign Owned companies are

to remove middle class jobs from the US, but it looks like they will be
restored by 2024. It will take Tariffs on imports to do this. See below.
