It may feel like the 1960s, but it's worse
For all their passion and violence, the 1960s were an eruption of idealism, a youth-led rebellion against a misguided war and the racism and misogyny lurking in the placid suburbs and Made in the USA prosperity of the '50s. The student protests in the spring of 2024 against the carnage in Gaza, by contrast, never ignited a broader movement and petered out.

Here's What 3 ‘Made in the USA' Appliances Would Actually Cost
Recently, as part of President Donald Trump's ongoing tariff initiative against America's trade partners, Trump — in an effort to bring manufacturing back to the United States — threatened Apple with a 25% tariff for any iPhones sold in America but not made in the USA. Trump has argued that this tariff in specific, as well as his tariff policy in general, is part of a bid to bring jobs (and sales) back to American companies, per Reuters. Learn More: Consider This: This raises the question — what would an iPhone made in the USA cost? What would other items made exclusively in America cost? Due in large part to the high labor and manufacturing costs within America's borders, a number of commonplace items would be almost prohibitively expensive if 'Made in the USA.' Projected 'Made in the USA' cost: $1,500 to $3,500 Even before Trump's threat against Apple, CNBC projected that Apple would have to spend $30 billion over three years just to move 10% of its manufacturing overseas to America — and that 10% shift alone would increase the cost of the iPhone 16 Pro (now currently $1,199) to at least $1,5000 based on American labor costs alone, or to $3,500 after moving a mere 10% of its manufacturing to America. Be Aware: Projected 'Made in the USA' cost: $10,000 to $13,000 more Per CNBC, there is no more expensive country to manufacture autos in than America. The average cost of a new car in Mexico? $40,700. Canada? $46,148. China? $51,000. Yet in America, the average new car price for a Made in the USA ride is $53,200. Since cars are already made in America, it's easy to see how much more they are than vehicles manufactured in other countries. However, those prices could increase even further, as many American car manufacturers utilize imported materials from other countries, which would force American-made car prices to spike even further. Projected 'Made in the USA' cost: $1,500 to $3,000 more Recently, Nasdaq projected that furniture and household appliances would cost shoppers an additional $1,500 to $3,000, based on American labor and manufacturing costs, as well as what such items cost during Trump's previous tariff era, in his first presidential administration.

The US Factory Where Trump Previewed His Tariffs in 2017 Is Now in China
When Donald Trump set out to mark the 100th day of his first term in 2017, he headed for a wheelbarrow factory in a swing state with a rich history and patriotic bona fides. The Ames True Temper plant in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, had almost 150 years of production behind it, and the company's toolmaking history went back even further, to 1774. Ames Cos. supplied shovels to George Washington's Revolutionary Army and to the carvers of Mount Rushmore. Its wheelbarrows helped build the Hoover Dam. For Trump it was a perfect backdrop to launch his plans to bring factory jobs back to America. 'We believe in 'Made in the USA,' and it's coming back stronger and better and faster than even I thought,' Trump told reporters that day as he sat at a desk set up on the factory floor. With cabinet members and Ames staff lined up behind him, he signed two executive orders that set in motion the process that less than a year later led to his first tariffs.
