Maybe someone here will start manufacturing these things?

Of course initially, expecting the same quality and low price will likely be an issue. But over time it gets better is probably the idea. Will it actually happen, who can say? But I can understand the idea they have here. I'm not saying they'll be successful. Definitely not saying I agree with it. (There are far more effective ways to accomplish a manufacturing ramp up with far less risk.) But I get the idea.

The economics just don't really make sense it's so much cheaper to produce abroad and ship it here, also this isn't manufacturing just the testing labs and these exist to provide rubber stamps of good enough products that maybe have a few issues.

I would love to see reshoring, but we have to be realistic about it and target the areas most critical to sovereignty and security. The scale of Chinese manufacturing is mind boggling, and we probably aren’t going to be making random affordable consumer products any time soon.

Maybe the FCC lab rules ought to be more selective, allowing consumer goods but not commercial/industrial goods at these labs.

Alternatively, maybe we can subsidize the consumer. What I don’t want to see is everything becoming 10x more expensive or completely unavailable at home while the rest of the world gets to keep the status quo.
