#Reshoring

Reshoring is the political and corporate ritual of welcoming back manufacturing sites that fled overseas with subsidies and tax breaks as gifts. Disguised as cost-cutting and job creation, it is often just a cynical PR stunt where reputation outweighs competitiveness. Beneath the banner of employment, reshoring becomes a farce of self-preservation and vote fishing. And when factories return, workers find themselves applauded before idle machines in an awkward homecoming.
