@adafruit Is there a manufacturer of this item in the USA?
@vicker249 @adafruit no. Nor is it possible for there to be in an economically viable way.
@NodeTap @vicker249 @adafruit then why is it economically viable somewhere else?
@RedTechEngineer @adafruit @vicker249 proximity to related manufacturing and both upstream and downstream logistics. Low cost of labor means unoptimized production can still happen at scale.
