Very serious Where do y'all stand on the free trade vs protectionism debate?

[JimmieCobson]

As a blue collar man, I'm partial to tariffs because I think that American workers shouldn't have to compete with slaves which will result in wage loss, worse working conditions and outsourcing if we don't take the proper precautions.

 

[JimmieCobson]

I think free trade is always better. The government shouldn't interfere a lot. Though cheap foreign goods or labor can basically drive people out of business and make countries too relient on other foreign countries so it's good to have a balance or something

I'm chill with fair trade, but I do think we need to put more value in the union jobs that made the 1950s such a great time to start a family.

I mostly support free trade, doe there obviously needs to be heavy tariffs on important industries like agriculture and iron in order to keep those at home. I‘m opposed to free immigration since cheap labour can and will be used to bring down wages.

Tariffs are le bad as it acts as another government block preventing two individuals from buying and trading overseas, additionally considering how most first world countries are reliant on global trade it would cause massive inflation on goods, which is not good for the current economy we live in.

I get it, but is mass produced shit product #69420 worth paying a dollar extra for if it means bringing back the jobs to the rustbelt?

Tarrifs on anything you can't make yourself and free trade on shit you can't, I live in Canada (yes I just selfdoxxed, send me the 'za) so we can't grow oranges on a large scale so our good friends the U.S.A sells us Oranges from Florida
also ban all chinkshit, starve the chink economy, only asian country you should be trading with is Japan and Taiwan since they're western allies

 

[AshkeNazi]

tariffs are gay and only punish your own citizens by raising prices
if you want to use them to punish brapistan for invading shitskinia without a nato-issued invasion loisence, just embargo them (or blockade them if you really have balls)
if you want to keep jobs in the country, either do something with your economy that nobody else is doing, or do something common better than anyone else

You should be allowed to sell firearms at gas stations and the ATF shouldn't be told about it because it's none of their business. Them spying on gun owners doesn't even do anything because all of the three letter agencies let most mass shooting happen anyways.

I believe in protectionism, free trade only worked back in the day when countries had to make mostly everything themselves and imports were luxury goods. That's in the past now and now that globalism and cheap global shipping are a thing I'm a protectionist, its too cheap and easy to exploit third worlders so domestic companies should be incentivized to make stuff on our soil. Outsourcing hurts Americans (or any other country in the first world, I know the UK misses its manufacturing) more than it ever helps but companies will do it to be more competitive in the market driving everyone to doing it.
