This is a throw away culture. People throw shit away sometimes when it just needs a new fuse or an easily replaceable maintenance part.
The democrats are going to need to pay slightly more for their imported grill that rusts by the end of every summer? Or slightly more for their imported cellphone that they stare at all day? Or the faggots will have to pay more for the rainbow flags they import from thailand or wherever the fuck?
You want me to get mad about having to pay an extra 10-20% of shit i already don't buy.
Go into any democrat city on trash pick-up day. People are throwing away all kinds of shit that third worlders would fight
over. Make the fuckers pay for their CONSUMPTION addiction.
I understand the mainstream fox news right wing talking points. USA is getting screwed by tariffs on our exports, tarriffs will bring manufacturing back, etc. Frankly, there's some factory work producing widgets that i don't want any fucking part of. Why are you guys opposed to foreign slave bug people producing some of your shit for you? Let some chink produce the LED bulbs that i solder on to a circuit board. Or don't.
I don't have enough skin in the game. I do not produce anything that i am trying to export to foreign nations. Nor do i consume much shit from foreign nations. I sometimes buy something on ebay or scAmazon that probably came from china. but i could have just gone to the thrift store or to a yard sale and found something usable.
The tariffs are only a problem for the top 0.1% rich people trying to maximize the amount of money they can gain. Those are the only ones who benefit from international free trade. For the actual people living within the first world country free trade is only harmful. Yet it can be portrayed as beneficial as the cost of goods produced do decrease, however the reduction in local real jobs is harmful.
Tariff's damage international free trade and encourages internal production. Costs go up, but the money being spent remains in the local economy instead of leaving. Driving further economic local growth.
Trump is really using them as a negotiating tactic, however in honesty, placing tariffs on all imports is beneficial for the local economy. Whether that local economy is being talked about as the US, Canada, Britain, or any other western nation that has actual production capacity.
That said, production capacity can and will increase if it is incentivized, such as through large tariffs. As we're seeing now with car manufacturers now working to open, or reopen, localized manufacturing facilities. The US has large areas of land that can be used for manufacturing.
Automation is an aspect, and depending on what is being produced it is quite viable but expensive. It would really depend on the exact product being used, however costs would certainly be higher producing in the US than importing, UNLESS importing those goods cause a tariff high enough it pushes the cost above simply hiring local US staff.
The US has no need for immigrants. The advantage of immigrants are another lie the globalist push. Immigrants do increase the GDP of a nation, drive down labor costs, and drive up consumer demand. However those improvements are only of value to the top 0.1%. For the rest of society immigrants add nothing to long term stability as normal people have 0 need for actual economic growth. Immigration could be dropped to 0 and there would be a more sustainable growth through simple reproduction.
