    I was sorta on board until you blamed regulations as a reason businesses can’t have manufacturering I. The US.

    Regulations are written in blood. Stop pretending like a living wage and no slave labor is a bad tbi g inhibiting production.

    Tarrif the snot out of the slave wage countries.

      An awful lot of regulations are written in blood. I am not suggesting we relax any of them. I’m talking about the endless supply of permits and forms and local government licenses and that sort of thing. There is an awful lot of regulation that does absolutely nothing to increase safety, it’s just bureaucracy. We could get rid of all that without impacting safety.

      Unfortunately, the United States is also a slave country within it’s prison system.

      Want a slave? Just trump up some nebulous charges about them, so to speak. Profit.

      While youre correct, it’s worth noting that alot of the reason China can outmanufacture us is the lack of those sane regulations. Nets for suicidal factory kids and all that. Thing is, the tarrifs also arent just being applied to slave wage countries, but the entire world basically
