    I think tariffs ARE a solution to manufacturing being exported.

    History is not on your side. Sweeping tariffs are BAD for the country.

    Capitalism is carrot-motivated, NOT stick. You want companies to manufacture in the US? Provide incentives to do so, not threats if they don’t.

    You said earlier it will take longer than 1 term to build out. You’re 100% correct. So why did Trump full send the tariffs right away? I agree that we need more manufacturing in this country but it’s a 10-20 year goal…which is why you slowly increase the tariffs to allow companies time to build out while also not fucking over your citizens.

    making race part of any decision making process for jobs or education is racist in my opinion. Nobody is special

    I was just going to address the tariffs thing but…buddy, those laws exist because race was - and still is - part of the decision making process. It was nearly impossible for a non-white person to get a good job.
