Yeah except they aren’t going to make toasters in Ohio because of tooling costs, and nobody is going to finance us made toaster factory buildout. And because the cost of slave labor in India is still like 1/100 of the wage in the USA.

But I’m not anti protectionist policy.

It’s just that I’m not convinced tariffs are going to do anything without a stable money supply and onshoring across like at least 100 different industry verticals. And I’m not convinced they wont roll them back after Trump.

Who fucking knows man. It’s all jewish faggotry

Sometimes that rule doesn't apply. When iphones first came out everyone in the world was getting them even though it would cost more than a months wages. Although made in china, that was a uniquely american product at the time. If it was made in the US, I'm sure people would have still bought it.
