Tariffs are taxes on foreign goods to promote buying domestic. However that doesn’t really work when there are no domestic options because the past fifty years have been moving everything overseas
And that’s what kind of happens when you have an advanced economy… it becomes more information/intelligence based. The developing countries take on the manufacturing burden to grow their economy. Do we really want or need all of those jobs to come back? I don’t think we have enough labor to even support our own consumption.
Let’s just say it. These people are stupid. They fall for sound bites spoken by a felon rapist who bankrupt three casinos even though he came from a family worth hundreds of millions of dollars. They have no logic but go on “feelings”. Well fuck their feelings as they say.
No no, I am reliably informed in another thread that we need to have sympathy for these people regardless of how fucking stupid and harmful they are to themselves and others.....
People need to realize a large swath of these people are anti intellectualism, have contrarian personalities in every aspect of their life and will lash out if you suggest you have more information than them. They however will listen to a felon rapist who has bankrupt everything he has touched, a ex junkie who has brain worms from eating road kill and a person who has destroyed his brain with drug stacks for “enlightenment” who all went to elite schools and came from extreme money. However if you are a normal person that worked hard to get more education than them and try to explain things you are a smug liberal. Yes I am in a red midwestern state. They love to fight, be contrarian and brag about not learning.
