All the trinkets that could be offshored were done already. What the US manufactures now is high-end (chips) or protected by tariffs (cars). A lot of virtual stuff like software and call centers. I think we've hollowed out so much there isn't really much left to offshore.


Don’t forget the US still excels at high speed pizza delivery. ;)

Odd but that Snowcrash reference seems oddly prescient given the rise of Uber, Instacart, GrubHub, etc. Not quite pizza delivery but similar genres.


If it were snowcrash, however, there'd be a lot slow-ass uber drivers bleeding out on the road.
