We as leftists, must organize in ways that match the fascists. Subversion of their goals is our goal. The class and culture war is in full effect and we must not be complacent.
Won’t the tariffs incentivise domestic production and give work to more regular folks? There’s also less stuff to be hauled around the world so there’s environmental benefits too. Sounds like a leftist idea to me.
Tell me you don't know how the world works without telling me you don't know how the world works.
Are you arguing that tariffs and other market restrictions are ineffective at incentivising moving of production sites? I guess that’s why Biden lifted tariffs Trump imposed. Oh wait.
Or are you arguing that container ships full of plastic trash are good for the environment?
Are you dancing around the fact that multiple industries have indicated they will pass on the cost of the tariffs to consumers?
They will do what’s most profitable. If domestic production becomes competitive someone will do it.
I'm sorry you're right, the Republicans have always wanted to tackle that trash and plastic problem. Trump, of course, cares about that. He's always talked about how much he wants to stop the production and import of plastic junk and pollution, oh wait...
Politicians lie so I’m mostly interested in outcomes, not the narratives that politicians use to make things happen. Why would I care that something I want and is mostly outside of my control happens for the wrong reasons?
