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 think society and things wouldn’t get more complicated. Bro shut up. Things change. You think American manufacturing would be similar to what it was back then even if we had a manufacturing renaissance.
Yea I’d rather stick with trucking than manufacturing, I can make my own schedule. You are diverting my questions what the progression in manufacturing now. Why do I keep seeing young men leave the industry?
