In a corner of Kentucky just outside of Louisville, family-owned shoe company Keen is opening a new factory this month.
The move fits neatly into the "America First" economic vision championed by the Trump administration - an emblem of hope for a manufacturing renaissance long promised but rarely realised. Yet beneath the surface, Keen's new factory tells a far more complicated story about what manufacturing in America really looks like today.
With just 24 employees on site, the factory relies heavily on automation -sophisticated robots that fuse soles and trim materials - underscoring a transformation in how goods are made today.
Manufacturing is no longer the labour-intensive engine of prosperity it once was, but a capital-heavy, high-tech enterprise.
Anything can be made here with fairly compensated labor.
It requires law makers to FORCE corporations to make concessions and pay their workers more.
The price increase will be negligible compared to the increased wages.
