It would be nice if tariffs would serve that purpose in this timeline, but they won't. The actual "we" imposing tariffs is diametrically opposed to the "we" (me included) that want better labor and environmental standards (well, a planet that isn't a cinderblock by 2025). Trump, Musk, and their ideological collaborators are probably dismantling the NLRB, the EEOC, and EPA as we speak.
