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
Technology is advancing too quickly
Faster than we can keep up with it
No. Creating hundreds to thousands of jobs is better than making a few things more expensive
Making things more expensive is devastating to the consumer buying the products that have tariffs on them
Bush's steel tariffs lost 200,000 jobs for every job created
If that's what you want, by all means go for it
Bush's tariffs also made the American consumer pay an additional $200,000 to $2.3 million
You have no idea what economic devastation is lol. You live in a first world paradise 😂
As I said, there is a cost to everything... But these tarrifs will help "lower class" workers by mass job creation.
Tariffs 👏 Fail 👏 to 👏 achieve 👏 their 👏 policy 👏 aims
Smoot and Hawley learned it the hard way twit
they are wildly successful
Oh really?
The Trump tariffs are winning
Tell me whether or not the Smoot-Hawley tariffs expanded the US economy in the 20s
Answer it
they did not
No
fucking
shit
