Are you sure they did? You have to give a precise list of those items which have been artificially cheapened by the other govts before you impose tariffs then.

Are you sure they did? You have to give a precise list of those items which have been artificially cheapened by the other govts before you impose tariffs then. Obviously you can't believe the USA is the peak at every possible sector. Or do you really believe that another country being better at something must mean they are cheating? Give me the list or stop the tariff bs. Sometimes, there is no deeper explanation for this nonsense than being a sore loser at someone else being better than you at something.

I don’t care if “other country” can make t-shirts better than we can. I care that we make them with our labor and keep our money here instead of going into debt and losing jobs. China for example doesn’t allow US social media companies. There you go. There’s one item which is all we need, therefore tariffs against China are justified until they open their markets to free competition from the US. Hell, just this week the CCP banned Chinese companies from buying Nvidia chips. (I’m picking on China here because it’s the east example, but it is not the only one) > Sometimes, there is no deeper explanation for this nonsense than being a sore loser at someone else being better than you at something. Ok let us be sore losers by ourselves with our tariffs. What concern is it if any other country?

  I am glad we finally admitted its not about this or that labor or other nonsense but about being a sore loser. And you seem to be forgetting I am equally in opposition of tariffs and consider it fucking shit when China or anyone else does it. Be sore losers, nobody is stopping you, I just truly and earnestly hope for the sake of your country that I am wrong.

    You claimed we were sore losers. I don’t care what you call us. We are fine with our tariffs and being whatever names you want to call us. It’s funny how mad everyone seems to be. Oh you’re just sore losers. Oh this isn’t going to work. Blah blah blah and on and on and on and all the kicking and screaming about it just tells me that your protests are an admission that it’s a good idea. > And you seem to be forgetting I am equally in opposition of tariffs and consider it fucking shit when China or anyone else does it. You asked and I delivered. I wasn’t accusing you of being in favor of trade barriers.

      I am calling you sore losers because I have seen not just studied a theory what happens when you tariff all over, I don't want to see America slide down. If I wanted to hurt your country I'd go full bore encouraging even more random high tariffs all over the board. I am also calling you sore losers because its, objectively minus any value judgments, a truth. Tariffs on a sector mean you are a loser in that sector. Not a big deal when said country never claimed to be a proponent of free trade before. But when its a country that ruins the board whose rules themselves setup, then yes? Idk what else to call them.

        Well we are just joining the rest of the world in the sore losers club so that’s no big deal.
