>There is just straight up no domestic production for a lot of these goods. There won't be. We made decisions long ago that make that completely unfeasable.
yeah, and companies are slowly making the decision that writing, art, and programming are completely unfeasable too....

Tariffs were created hundreds of years ago to protect domestic workers/goods. Companies used to fight for this shit up til the 1960s/1970s, when shipping lanes across the world were made safe by the US navy. Then these companies pushed the government weaken tariffs and make other laws in order to push overseas manufacturing, in order to make a bigger profit (all without lowering their prices for these goods).

I get that gen x, millenials, and zoomers are used to a world where corporate greed is the rule of nature, but it wasn't always the way. Why can't shit be the way it was before the 1960s? Aside from your insistence that corporations and conglomerates must be making billions in profit to pay hundreds of millions in salary to their CEOs....

Governments have been creating laws to protect workers and its people for centuries, so what's wrong with creating more? It's been 50+ years since corporations have banded together to weaken laws against their interests and created laws to strength their powers, so.... maybe it's time for the government and it's people to do something about it?

>b-b-but then my toys will now cost $40 because a giant conglomerate said so!
Why must something that costs 92¢ to make even cost $40?

pic doesn't show the 1%, which are 1300% today
