You are either being silly or intentionally taking weird positions.
oh i am? 😂
the current prices are set by the market.
yes. and when your competitor is not bound by the same regulations as you are, you may find that unfair, because he can achieve cheaper prices on the same market.
increased conpetitors price while keeping your advantage.
what? the current competitor’s price is lower than yours and you are trying to level the field. you are approaching the price from the opposite direction than you suggest, so what you are saying makes no sense.
“at home” for a lot of companies is not the US.
and the goal of the tariff is to change that.
companies are driven by profit not feelings.
exactly. that’s why they have no problem exploiting people and environment in 3rd world countries. if you change the rules of the game to make it profitable for them to come back, they will do that.
No it’s not easy indeed
i never said it is easy.
And the competitive edge the companies have by staying in cheaper countries helps them be competitive in the rest of the world.
yes, this is sort of a prisoner’s dilemma and lot of economic problem’s is like that in modern world. i don’t have a solution for that, but it is pretty clear that selfish strategy for everyone is not actually working for anyone right now.
it worked?
it worked, because farmers who got in trouble were compensated according to what you said. i am not american, i don’t know details about trump tariffs and i in no way defend trump or his implementation. i am just saying tariffs are not stupid idea.
the specific implementation is what can make it work or not and you can fuck up there, i am sure.

Trump points to tarrifs when asked what he will do to make life more affordable to Americans. For the rest I suggest some more econ classes.
sounds like reasonable idea. when do you start?
