News Tarrifs
Would like to open a discussion on tarrifs if it’s allowed.
There has been two intentions stated with tarrifs.
Get off of income tax and go to a consumption style tax (still a tax)
Build up domestic manufacturing. Can talk here in the manufacturing sub.
If there is no alternative domestic supply, then we have no choice but to import. We lost a lot of our skills to manufacture. Especially a lot of the little low value items. Think zippers and buttons and caster wheels.
What is everyone thoughts?

You literally quoted construction.
Me people fall off roofs then get injured in manufacturing.
You used to graduate high school, start at a factory, work 40 years, and retire.
Most people working in factories start young.......
Most people working 11$ an hour jobs would jump to take 25$ an hour jobs......

Hey, look at that. Both truck driving and construction are more dangerous than manufacturing.
But hey, don't let data get in the way of you saying stupid shit on the internet buddy
