The stock market is a psychopath. If you’re not actively growing you’re dying, so stable/steady profits and no year over year growth = stock plumits. That’s why companies that are profitable, but hit a saturation point, start to try to squeeze. Gotta make the almighty line go up. It’s all very short cited, but executive incentives are nearly always short term.

Assembly is relatively straightforward, but sourcing all the components locally is likely getting harder and harder. Granted, for DoD contract reasons there’s likely a cottage industry that relies on government rules to keep things onshore. That’s part of the reason why we still have some made in the USA clothing.

This is worth a listen or a watch if you’re interested.
