Lots of support from the usual HN "tariffs bad" crowd that shows up when America restricts trade. But now, producing your own stuff _can_ be important strategically? It seems pre-existing opinions of the actor in question are tainting opinions of the activity.
- rsynnott 7y agoEh? I mean "in general, tariffs are bad" is not incompatible with "some industries/facilities are strategically important and must be supported". Very few people are calling for totally free markets with no tariffs or government support _at all_, but a lot of people would see them as a necessary evil that should be minimised.
