The world respected IP because the alternative was being tariffed. Now that we already are, the US can take it's IP laws and shove 'em for all I care.

- philipallstar 8mo agoTariffs existed before a year ago, whether you knew about them or not.
- nehal3m 8mo agoObviously. What's your point? Do you mean to tell me nothing changed in how the US tariffs their imports?
- philipallstar 8mo agoNo, I'm saying what you said was misleading at best, because tariffs already existed.

- nehal3m 8mo agoAgain, obviously. Tariffs were an economic precision instrument and the threat of them a form of soft power. Now they’re a bully’s spiked club. Which is the implication of my original comment had you applied some good faith and reading comprehension.
- ozmodiar 8mo agoThe US bullying other countries to follow its interests has also existed before a year ago. People are just waking up to the idea that it's going to get worse and not better.
