Maybe, but even if we did reshore it, Boeing is still likely going to be losing money compared to Airbus, as american manufacturing is notorious for being expensive. The cost of manufacturing out of a garage is likely prohibitively expensive, as the difficult part isn't necessarily doing the manufacturing, but making sure the part is made to quality standards, something that the manufacturer is financially responsible for. Most garage manufacturers aren't going to be used to holding the tolerances needed for Boeing. If they were, Boeing likely would already be doing it.
I'm surprised I don't hear more people talking about this. Even if we do reshore all our manufacturing, which seems impossible, how would we even be able to sell our stuff? It would be too expensive.
