S. Artesian thinks that many of the people on this list don't pay attention to current events. So you get statements like those from Steve: So I think it is a mistake for critics of Trump to focus on "tariffs bad" when they are not in and of themselves, indeed in the face of China's near monopoly on manufacturing every country needs them today.
The criticism should be: Raise wages first, or people won't be able to afford the higher priced but everyday products imported Subsidize manufacturing, or we won't be able to replace the imports, don't put the cart before the horse Or c;laims that the tariffs on aluminum "worked" Or efforts by those like Marv who want to make it a geopolitical issue, one of competing great powers and never even consider the underlying trend of capitalism as the dominant mode of production driven by profitability and the problems of overproduction. But you keep on, Marv, with your "jumping off point" from 137 years ago. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
