And that’s to say anyone against these tariffs is clearly OK with that because that is EXACTLY what’s happening when you ship manufacturing overseas where there is NO accountability.
Who doesn’t want tariffs? How do you think this country made its money before NAFTA and the big grift happened? When companies from all over the world started manufacturing in God knows where and destroyed all the manufacturing jobs in America?
And then under Biden the goods come in from China or elsewhere and arrives in Mexico only to pay someone under the table to slap a “manufactured in Mexico” label on it or “made in Canada” and avoid any tariffs.
Cause guess what - no one was checking.
So Trump is pissing off everyone who has got their cut along the supply chain and they are PISSED.
But it’s the right thing to do for all the right reasons. Bring back jobs to America, kill the child labor market and abuse of kids, provide decent wages again, provide good quality goods, and Make America Great Again.
You're enriching and increasing the power of Evil people. Who have no issue living off people's suffering.

If lithium mines are using child labor. Wouldn't that mean Teslas are getting produced by child labor? Yikes

Fuck. Damn Elon. Apparently he's been sued on this quite a few times.
Not just child slave labor. Plenty of indentured adult slave labor.
This is the great moral peril of trading with nations which do not respect human or civil rights. We profit by exploiting and destroying human beings, but consider ourself pure if there is no direct contact.
NIMBY in full effect!
Exactly.

It’s funny how all the sudden, the people who pretended to be all about worker safety and higher wages are freaking out because bringing jobs here means… better working conditions and higher wages.
That’s literally what Redditors are freaking out over right now, btw. They really do like their slave labor.
we can't afford to pay for better working conditions and higher wages, and domestic manufacturing will mean even more invaders being brought in.
The booming economy, job growth and wage growth will help.
And once we have actual full market employment of the citizens here, expanding the workforce strategically, with immigrants here legally who are looking to work and protect our freedoms, is very different than an uncontrolled flood of people coming via traffickers and gangs with no vetting of their intentions, right?
Job positions will just be given to invaders and wages will stagnate because of it. Also nice job showing your hand with support for legal immigrants, they're just as much of a problem as illegals, arguably more.
Like.. oh no! The prices on Nike and Lulu Lemon are going up!
This is strictly a problem for the elites.
Most people are happy to have warm food, cold beer, and a pair of jeans that last more than a few months. That shit don't come from china.
The jeans and much of the food does come from china though.
Since 2021, 28 states have introduced bills to weaken child labor laws, and 12 states have enacted them. By contrast, 14 states have introduced bills to strengthen child labor protections already in 2024—up from 11 states in all of 2023—as more state lawmakers recognize the need to address increasing violations and threats to current state and federal standards.
I could care less about the child slaves from other countries. Tbh they will likely starve to death without a job with an income. They are not my people, I don't care.
I care about my family, my friends, and my country.
That's a fair balance, since I care more about child slaves being worked and starved to death than about you, your family or your friends, if they're anything like you.
This movement is about compassionate people executing a Plan to save the World.
I like Elon but electric cars = child slavery
I don't want foriegn invaders brought in legally and that's exactly what will happen with more domestic manufacturing.
Only if the child is committed to excellence.
