Wages in China have been rising for a while, meaning it's less cost-effective to outsource to the commies there, the trend of bringing jobs back to USA and building our manufacturing sector started a few years before 2016, but now with tariffs and tax cuts things are just getting better. I wouldn't sweat it too much.

low interest rates are here to stay. government is all staffed by property developers. everyone went and bought a property at the maximum price, ready to shill 3/4 of their wages straight into their mortgage because they fell for the housing meme. interest rates cant go up. if they do, the floor will fall out of the property market. they cancelled bankruptcy in australia to prevent people from walking away from their mortgages. you can default but the debt doesnt get erased. you still must pay it back. imagine what happens if half the population were to just not be able to pay their mortgages because they put interest rates up past 5%. not too long ago they were talking about negative interest rates because shit had gotten so bad. interest rates are staying lowwww

Depends on the shop OP. I don't have a dial indicator that has a resolution of a half-tenth. Our work doesn't call for it. We do plastic injection molding, for marine hardware, though, not medical, defense or aerospace. We do use .0001" indicators, and for what we do, if you zero that out you're good.
