You're just going to Galapagos your economy. Consumers won't put up with high prices and inferior goods. Unless you want to restrict internet/information access so your consumers don't know what they are missing out on.
- amanaplanacanal 4mo agoI dunno. Consumers put up with a lot. Why can't I buy a cheap Chinese EV again?
- Avicebron 4mo agoWell the short version is that Robert Rubin and company sold our industries for parts years and years ago. And now we have to rebuild the industrial base from scratch
- jfengel 4mo agoThat should make it possible to buy a cheap Chinese EV. You can't because they didn't sell out completely. In fact they still have some power to protect the companies from foreign products. The result is a mishmash of protectionism and globalization.

- youngNed 4mo agoNah, I live in the UK, prices are higher than eu, public service is much worse, but public are voting for the party with members that brought this about. Humans are weird.
- jfengel 4mo agoVoting for someone else would mean admitting you were wrong. Paying high prices and losing your job are bad, but not as bad as changing your mind.
