It's not about avoiding tariffs, it's about cutting the cost of the import to the price of the manufacturer instead of the price of the importer middleman. Tariffs are a % of the price.

Only someone who doesn't understand trumponomics would ask something so foolish

Obviously it didn't increase the trade deficit, he's still openly white nationalist. Come on

It's fine, who wants to build the high end value add stuff anyway. Exempt high tech goods so that Americans can compete on the lower value add end

It'll be the farm equivalent of "free range" chickens where the birds have access to a little dirt patch under the sky.

the animal agriculture industrial complex is such a huge lobby and carnists are so desperately willing to be propagandized, it's a perfect treatler mix

Non-digital musical instruments of any kind are less in reach for non rich people now than before. The instruments themselves are expensive, many schools have axed music programs, and extracurricular lessons are not cheap.

it's incredible to me that it's been 20+ years since the global war on terror was popular, the idea of the US being the baddies in iraq/afghanistan/libya is generally accepted, and there's also general acceptance among libertarian dweebs that the US does a lot of propaganda, and yet there's still such a reluctance to believe that the US is wrong on China as well.

deeply unserious analysis

My entire adult life has been filled with news about deprivation caused by American sanctions on other nations, and now, after receiving the mandate of heaven from the Treatlers, the most American man alive is inflicting similar damage to his own country. Incredible.
