alt Hacker NewsThe article headline makes it seem like the factories couldn't make the gloves.
But further down it says that the cost was double and factories couldn't get buyers.
These are very different failure modes, and speak to very different solutions.

That might have been a bargain if you could have done it during peak Covid. Having the capability to make them is worth a lot in resilience.

Exactly, the article also mentions "Only about 1% of those used in the US are made domestically".
It's already being done so it seems more a cost related issue than lack of knowledge.
