re: Tariffs are bad

I'm a capitalist, so I'm against Tariffs if R or D is behind them. Thomas Sowell is in my corner.

Neither you, nor Thomas Sowell have owned a business that has to compete with China and their slave labor. Cheaper prices are great and all, and I sincerely wish tariffs were not needed, but the result is the death of domestic manufacturing and industry. And while this doesn't sound catastrophic to many, you don't even have to go to war with your primary trade partner to recognize that at some point the country that manufactures most of the shite you buy, owns you.

ETA: Look at the Plandemic. China creates the virus. China supplies most of our pharmaceuticals. China's influence over our government, the pharmaceutical industry, and the medical community, results in effective medicines being banned and doctors threatened with their licenses for prescribing it. China's power and influence over our government and economy has resulted in nobody even talking about punishing China for releasing a deadly virus upon the world. China's power and influence over the pharmaceutical companies had doctors and administrators choosing the government, it's protocols, it's mandates, and it's recommended treatments, over what was best for the American people.
