phones arent an input into anything else

so you raise the price of phone imports, but dont affect any other industry's production costs

in the short term you may affect demand of the companies who *sell to the foriegn phone companies*, but this will be swept up by your local phone manufacturer who has *increased demand* because they offer cheaper phones than china now

Very intriguing. So its greed essentially, to promote free trade and avoid the tariffs at the global economies languishment for your own personal gain.

yea

hmmmm

the main reason for free trade is your industries dont have competition anywhere in the world, so you dont need to protect your industries

<@&508200811625447449> can you guys get this pokemon bot out of this chat por favor?

and that was the case for a long time with america actually

but now china is competing

and europe is fully rebuilt

Haven't you heard? We have no power besides mute

So if we were worried about 5G in China and the security risk it proposes, then can we impose tariffs to make it difficult for them to produce that technology?

(although shitty cuz of dumb economic system)

Okay you have power to tell someone who has power. @Darman

well yea you could mandate that america must use local companies for 5g products

but china will still sell to europe

its more that you're doing a good thing for local business

rather than "taking china out"

Mmmmmm. They are already partnering with Europe too to set up 5G towers at a reduced price.

yea

I see

p!stop
