That's a lot of text

***hElL yEah***

@FriarPop So essentially you're for anything these so called "experts" in your view are against, correct because muh globalism or some shit?

400%? LMAO

Where the fuck did you get those numbers? Charlie Kirk?

Every country has been steadily reducing their tariff rates long before Trump started his trade war with our allies, like Japan, the EU, Canada, including the United States, until Trump had to fuck it up and then they placed RETALIATORY tariffs on us in response to Trump's moronic move

This is a graph chart proving my point that countries *have* been lowering their tariff rates over time

Here's an example these existed before trump, you clearly do not pay any attention to economics.

270% on our dairy

*The North American Free Trade Agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico entered into force on January 1, 1994. Under NAFTA, trade in all industrial goods between the United States and Canada became duty-free on January 1, 2008.*

Come on man

don't be disingenuous

you have yet to prove a point

I just did 🤦

dude

arwe

fds.fhjsdlkfhsdflkshdfklshfsdkljfhlskfhsopeiuwhopiuww

your only point has been that tariffs are bad in the short run but nobody disagreed with you

I made that point and that nations have LOWERED their tariffs over time

not increased

yeah, nobody is disagreeing with you, it makes sense to lower them over time

And that all industrial goods between Canada and the US have become duty free

@FriarPop Which they have without Trump's retarded tariffs 🙄

Now they're increasing them because we've launched full scale trade wars with them simply because of Trump's ignorance of basic economic understanding

No

Jfc

No?

Tell me where Im wrong

Increasing tarrifs makes using local sources a a viable option when importing is so cheap, boosting local production

Tariffs protect industries at the expense of the consumer which they get hit the hardest

Besides, Trade deals aren't the existential threat facing factory workers

There is a cost to everything

It's advancements in artificial intelligence

That's the existential threat

Not yet

@An Elbow The cost of hitting the American consumer seems more devastating then laying off a few factory workers, right?

Let the market decide, not the government

"Not yet" lol
