no, but quite a few attempts were worse than enlightened self interest. Ok, we could discuss the lumen ;-)

> For every worker "exploited" in China there's a worker in Detroit who could have done the work and once would have. Instead the work is done by the exploited Chinese girl because she is cheaper than the Detriot fellow. This decision is not made by consumers, it is made by the manufacturer.

If all jobs were kept in the US not even the current military budget could keep non-developed states from birthing more 9/11 like incidents.

>Apple devices are not cheaper because they are made in China. For a while I bought smartphones directly out of China for a fraction of the cost. Apple could have them made in Detroit with no change in retail price if Apple were prepared to normalize its dividends to pre-outsourcing days

no way if you allude to more than adding the finishing touches - MotoX being built in the US still kept most of the price of HW generated outside as imported pieces were legoed together here and customer could decide on wood or not.

They are willing with Apple

Apple did not pay dividends...

>... and sorry, that seems less likely than disenfranchised physically strong people deciding the Social Compact has nothing for them so it's time for a new one. This is more likely because of blinkered views that pay no heed to this at all- e.g. those who have no trouble identifying exploited Chinese often seem blind to generations of US citizens with no jobs or prospects, but still expected to honor the Social Compact.
