With a carbon tax you get an indulgence. Because you're a good person.

But... with tariffs you bring jobs back to America, like a good person would want.

Everyone is currently scrambling to showcase why they are the one who truly understands tarrifs, a word they probably first heard like 2 months ago. You see, tarrifs are very bad things that only hurt americans, and trump is either too stupid/evil to understand that, unlike me who is obviously very smart/good.

TLDR: They're a negotiating tactic, and they seem to be working if colombia is any indication.
Tariffs are well understood.

Colombia was a security bluff and not an economic bluff.

Tariffs have failed in the past soy bean farms... &

We don't have the infrastructure to make this change and no one is going to work these jobs that pay too little, while the products still don't compete.

1. those jobs pay too little because you let slaves do them.
2. min wage would be equal with inflation if you didn't ship jobs overseas.

It. is. racist. to. say. white. people. wont. do. the. jobs. you. make. 3rd. world. people. do.

I don't care about how divine you think we are, we are not above anyone else. And we will do the same jobs anyone else will.

Deepseek's code was released to the public. -.-

I'm genuinely curious for botten to pose a hypothetical in which a tariff would be a good thing. I've noticed every other developed country in the world utilizes them in one form or another. Why are they all using such a dumb bad thing?

Try calling it a carbon tax. See how quickly he thinks we should impose more.
