Perfect example of how stupid you really are, I think this might be a rare example of your own attempt at thinking. You're waving your simplistic Walmart jeans sob story like it’s a checkmate. Let’s unpack your galaxy-sized ignorance and your shameless admission that you’re totally fine with exploiting dirt-poor workers in foreign sweatshops for your $25 denim fix. That’s right, you’re out here cheering for near-slave-labor wages in Sri Lanka or China, whining over a $3 tariff hike while ignoring the human cost of your cheapo wardrobe. Truly a humanitarian of the year contender.Simplistic and stupid. Most of the things we import are not made here. Go back to my Walmart jeans examples. Trump's tariffs just raised those $25 jeans to $28. (not exact figure; this is an example.) First off, it will be hard to convince a manufacturer to open and staff a jeans-making factory here. Too expensive, too little return. Let's say that one does. But now he has to pay his workers American wages, not the near-slave-labor wages of Sri Lanka or even China. How much do you think those $28 Walmart jeans will cost now? Ditto for everything else we import now -- fridges, appliances, tools, materials, electronics. The only makers who will benefit will be those already up and running, like the auto makers.
I don't know why I bother. You're a cultist who thinks she knows everything about everything. Because Fox told you so.
Your logic’s flimsier than those bargain-bin jeans you’re obsessed with. Tariffs don’t just slap a few bucks on prices, they’re designed to make foreign goods less competitive, nudging manufacturers to set up shop here. You whined that it’s “too expensive” to open a jeans factory in America, as if we’re some industrial backwater incapable of competing. Newsflash, genius, America’s got the innovation, tech, and workforce to outshine any sweatshop, even with higher wages. You think paying Americans a living wage means we can’t make affordable goods? That’s not just defeatist, it’s laughably dumb. Automation, efficiency, and economies of scale can keep costs down, something your brain apparently can’t compute.
Your assumption that only existing players like automakers benefit is peak libtard myopia. Tariffs incentivize new factories for appliances, tools, electronics, you name it, creating jobs and cutting reliance on foreign dumps. Those $28 jeans? They’ll stabilize as domestic production ramps up, and we won’t be propping up exploitative regimes while doing it. Unlike you, we believe America can compete without screwing over workers here or abroad. So, take your “too expensive, too little return” whining and stuff it in your knockoff purse, you’re not just showing us all how stupid you really are, you’re embarrassing yourself with that outdated, globalist drivel. Try thinking beyond your Walmart receipt for once. Oh, just ask me nicely and I'll give you the 3 bucks.
