      Don’t buy the stuff. Buy the American stuff so it goes back in American wallets. That’s the idea right?

        Do I need to show you the sheer volume of imports? What the fuck is even made in America? Electronic air dusters and other random assortments? Definitely not the items we use and buy on a daily basis.

        But you know what, you seem to think this is a great fucken idea. So I’ll just see you in four years and we’ll see what’s what. Its not going to be pretty. The guy said so himself.

          Do you think these things need to be made by China? What’s so wrong about making it profitable to make them in America?

            Because capitalism dictates you make it where its cheapest to make it. Because a lot of these companies aren’t American and it won’t be made here. Because a lot of us won’t survive the next four years with 30% across the board. American manufacturing is great

              Okay, so you get that we make things where it’s cheapest and that tarrifs raise the price of outside business, and you’re not seeing how that moves manufacturing jobs to America?

                Why would they? You can’t beat Chinese factory workers at less than a dollar a day. This won’t do shit but make things more expensive. American Workers would have to be devalued massively to move the jobs back. Is that something you’re willing to put up with?

                  I don’t think you understand. Things SHOULD be more expensive and that money should go back in our own pockets instead of the pockets of people who exploit cheap labor elsewhere.
