Comment on Trump’s tariffs might actually be working as he intended
Lovstuhagen@hilariouschaos.com 2 weeks agoObviously, things like that are happening and will happen, but it is also the case that tariffs are employed throughout the whole world to protect nascent industries and improve the trade deficit. The economies are adjusting in the short-term for changes that should continue in the long-term.
… And this is the funniest aspect of Trump’s economic policies: he is making liberals the world over make hypercapitalist arguments about free trade.
Imagne being a progressive far leftist and believing that the government interfering too much in the economy* is bad*.

These things wouldn’t be happening if we didn’t have a moron, against every single expert 's advice, repeat the same exact tariff mistakes that helped bring about the great depression. An idiot so dumb he still doesn’t know how tariffs work despite dozens of people explaining it to him.
Imagine thinking people want just any old interference in the economy as if that’s the end goal, not a specific result?
People want affordable services without a useless middleman extracting profit and making the entire system worse in exchange. Not shovelling taxpayer money at the biggest corporations on the planet and claiming its a free market, like the right.
