He never explains. The textile production capabilities in the US were shut down decades ago. The practical truth is that it may be prohibitive to just start up a clothing line in the US today. Los Angeles would be your best bet if you wanted to.

A major gap for TPTB's current progression line here, all of it would've stopped IF oil had been traded freely in the past.
Taking cotton/oil nylon from one side of the planet to be refined in the other is no short order.
Be forewarned they WILL create localized manufacturing, BUT only on their own terms. You will pay, and the people will suffer Middle agedom.
We'd be better off, imo letting them continue their path here and keep paying their piper, FAIL would be total/complete and market's then Libertad.

Comes to mind two old b&W movies that are centered around the garment industry as a backdrop - "Middle of the Night", with Fredrich March and Kim Novak, and "I Can Get it for You Wholesale", with Dan Dailey, George Sanders, and Susan Hayward.
Both take place in New York City back in the late 40's, early 50's, and it is a good depiction of life in the garment industry during that era. Oh, man, what a place NYC was back then. It was the leading center for so many things, including the garment industry. Its gone, long gone. Can it come back? Nobody knows but I'd sure like to see american's rolling up their sleeves and giving it the ole' college try, at least while I'm still drawing air.
Back in the mid 60's, I lived about an hour north of NYC and visited there a few times. I can tell you young squirts there was NO PLACE like New York, New York. Its gone, overgrown like weeds by something I'd rather not go to, but, it can be resurrected from the grave, at least we ought to shoot for that - along with all the other metropolitan areas of the USA and the small country towns also (where I retired to). Roads, damns, power plants, factories, so many things have atrophied and need to be brought back to life, but with a modern emphasis on micro electronics embedded within. We can do it - we just need a government that is dedicated to PROTECTING US while we grow from a new infancy to maturity as a world leader in manufacturing and creating things of value in this world. I know we can do it if we get leadership dedicated to the notion of making america great again, and not just a political slogan, but something felt from deep inside from a calling that just won't stop pestering to be heard and acted upon.
