I expect so, after so many decades of financialization of the economy, a lot of important industries have been moved out of the country. This was a great read on the underlying dynamics incidentally https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2021/08/the-value-of-nothing-capital-versus-growth/
That kids is why you never outsource to other countries
We should be happy their quarterly short-sightedness allowed them to let China completely pin them in a chokehold, the 2020s could have gone very different if they weren't so foolish!
