And any other industries that actually manufactures in the US. And also the ones that don’t manufacture in the US.

Turns out when you want to bolster domestic production, making raw materials more expensive is a dumb idea. Making components of larger things that are assembled more expensive here does the same.

All it does is make everything more expensive.

Fucking stupid.

Do you know why 30% was chosen? It was the typical cut retail took. Physical stores selling goods take that much to cover their lease, logistics in moving those good to the store and employees.

Online stores do not share most of those costs. 30% is not needed.

It’s almost as if, when people aren’t taken in shitty jobs or of necessity and constantly worrying about survival, they can find work they actually enjoy doing, without worrying as much about the compensation.
