A point will come when many goods which are made overseas in automated factories could be made locally cheaper. Mostly just because of transportation costs.


I don't know, transportation isn't much. I'm amazed that I can buy $6 bottles of wine from a retail shop in the Philippines, and the wines are from faraway places like Argentina and Chile. it seems like it should cost $6 just to get the bottle from there to here, but it doesn't.
