>compete on price with shops in Shenzhen
One way to help with this fight is to charge a tax on things made in Shenzhen. This helps by funding the government, helping build roads and fund things like healthcare, and also makes those items more price competitive with American-made goods.
- aDyslecticCrow 1y agoPeople are downvoting you. But that is not entirely fair. Tarrifs can work. They're an excellent tool when applied stratecally, gradually, and combined with focused effort to nurture local alternatives. Just because we're currently seeing them used in the most crude and reckless way possible does not diminish their value.
- Mountain_Skies 1y agoYour feeling of obligation to add a disclaimer is why others felt the need to downvote that comment you replied to. Be the fairness you claim to want.
- aDyslecticCrow 1y agoI only need a disclaimer because the very concept of tarrifs has become politically charged. The original comment makes a good argument without any value statement about current politics or recent events. The comment should normally not have needed the context i added; to be taken seriously.
