Yeah.
I never understand why, in all these "MAN VS MACHINE" game tournaments people cheer for the humans so hard. We've been the masters for
centuries, it's the AIs who are the underdogs! It's like rooting for the damn New York Yankees in the World Series.

The US dollar is +684% against the Yuan, a 30% tariff makes that +654%; big whoop.
Notice the "+" sign - it means put tariffs as high as they need to go to induce the American consumer to buy domestic....and if US goods are too expensive....then that will trigger political pressure to either reduce domestic taxes and/or accomplish meaningful gull reforms to address the automation issue....Chinese slave goods are presently enabling the civilized world to kick these problems down the road.....while enriching some of the most vile plutocrats history has ever seen...i.e., the PRC.

You say that as if it wouldn't be a marked improvement on the status quo.

A 684% tariff? That's not going to induce the consumer to buy domestic, that's just going to induce the consumer not to buy at all, 70% of your economy is consumer spending, net result would be a massive recession, which is why you're not going to do that, newsflash, you're not even going to do 30%, it's an obvious bluff, because it would just backfire and get Trump fired, when prices started to rise and the economy started to slow down as they did.

See, we can find common ground.
