By dumping tariffs on companies, they have to choose if access to the massive American market is worth the increased burden.
It resolves the problems on many levels and while it introduces a few new ones, those new ones can be resolved with intelligent incentives and time. What can't be solved are the problems with manufacturing leaving the country in droves for decades.
If -- and when -- they try to pass the cost on to consumers, consumers should be smart enough to say "nah, I don't think I'm going to buy that", and over time -- again, time -- they will have to make the decision to pull out entirely or acquiesce to building manufacturing facilities and employing Americans.
All of these companies have vast coffers of cash that they didn't have before, and now it suddenly costs way more to build manufacturing for those "$1 Hot Wheels" cars? That's cute.
The United States does not have to respect the patents for products that are not produced or marketed here and nor should we. If it means some other company rises up using similar technologies, then that is a good thing.
It is a multifaceted problem that requires many solutions, but literally -- LITERALLY -- everything that is being done now is wrong, so we need to stop moving this direction and turn back.
There is no need to complain about rising costs (from tariffs) if you keep your money instead of losing a massive chunk every pay period.
