Unfortunately the largest cotton producing country is china, followed by India.

My grandparents actually worked and met at a denim factory in west Texas which was renowned for its cotton production. Growing up I remember giant cotton fields which have all been replaced with strip malls and sprawl.

It’s going to be a multi-year project at the very least. And even then probably still cheaper to make clothes in Vietnam.

But that’s what MAGA wants and Trump clearly, like Putin, doesn’t want to go anywhere so maybe start now? I can see, like you, how tragically comedic this situation is.
