You realize this is your family watching you make the decision to have their vehicle run over a loved one? There's a possibility they all live if you pull it.

Major costs for most people are housing, transport and groceries - mostly domestic products already. We'd be far better off reducing those prices first.

Realistically the US would need to import raw materials for things like electronics so for a lot of things it would just raise prices and domestic infrastructure/manufacturing would remain unchanged.

mercifully pulling both levers.

I think once China slapped on retaliatory tariffs om farmers and the US had to drop a new wave of subsidies it locks in the tariffs a bit until a new wave of negotiations can be made. I suspect China stalled those negotiations in hopes they could dupe trump into a better deal.

Given Trump is saying that the trade deal with Mexico is bad (the deal he negotiated) and is threatening tariffs on Mexico its clear he is just using tariffs as a scare tool. Unfortunately every world leader saw him get dog walked in the debates and knows he's a moron so now its unlikely he'll be taken seriously.

I agree with all the people saying cut the screws flush. Its a safety problem and you're doing him a favor

I'm beginning to see this as the corporate fiction that everybody is a legal scholar who can read 10,000 words per minute is having some blowback.

Edit: I hate propose a problem without a solution so I think the fix would be something like "the top 10 contracts used by businesses and households should just be legislated into standard contracts and taught in school as part of curriculum"

we have elections where rich people spend money to influence the population and we do have lots of local democracy. The problem is the feds are like a pseudo democracy and the courts are explicitly anti democratic. Reforming the courts here would fix a lot of things. fixing voting methods (RCV, eliminate the electoral college) would go a long way towards the rest.
