> The wealthy fat cats that are making money producing their stuff overseas or simply operating as middlemen for overseas manufacturers are going to have a reduction of income and profits.
The companies who moved manufacturing abroad and pocketed the savings for their investors and CEOs aren’t likely to just say “oh well” and take a big hit to their margins—they’ll just mark up their products to make up the difference. Maybe, eventually, domestic competition will emerge but it’s not a given and likely takes time. In the meantime, consumers are paying the increased costs.
