You’re not. And you will never learn Spanish. You’re not a serious person.
This wasthe most goofy statement i heard from those types. Completely forgetting that you only got the stimmy because a million people died. And he didn't even want to give it out in the first place.
Recently reconnected with some associates stressin' 'bout these tariffs because of their businesses.
They was hypin' up the Trump train serious all last year talm 'bout more money in their pocket.
Now? It's gone happen and people just gone have to make due. This was unavoidable, now here it is.
Hope people make it, 'cause there about to be a lot of contraction happening.
it's also true on wikipedia too
"Mercantilism is a nationalist economic policy that is designed to maximize the exports and minimize the imports of an economy. In other words, it seeks to maximize the accumulation of resources within the country and use those resources for one-sided trade."
Mercantilism - Wikipedia

like germany does within the EU. or china tries with some.
Is China Mercantilist?

one of the tools of mercantilism is protectionism.
Nobody is taking advantage of the U.S. we willingly outsourced our entire manufacturing base so U.S businesses could leverage cheap labor and increase profit margins.
China and Mexico did not trick us.
It was Reagan, The Bushes and Clinton’s embrace of neoliberal policies that got us here. Trump was a big Reagan supporter and Republican are still big supporters of offshoring.
But they are trying to push a fake populist message and they need a brown or yellow boogie man to blame because god forbid powerful white men take accountability for their failures.
The fact that they try to make it look like China and Mexico somehow pulled off some kind of Jedi mind tricks on the U.S is fukking laughable.
I’m not even opposed to the use of tariffs to build back American manufacturing base, but this haphazard, chaotic, Wil E Cayote acme tariff pans is insane.

i'm not talking about this thread only.
i am talking about the process that the US / the west is going through at the moment.
and on many topics you see a lot of uninformed opinions on here.
mercantilism is a form of economic aggression and the reliance of the world on the US as the consumer of last resort should be to the benefit of america.
MMT says that the US can print as much monty as it needs, to continue on its path as the debtor nation that fuels other nations exports.
but MMT remains unproven.
more conventional though is that despite reserve currency status that the perpetual growth of US external debt will lead to america's economic decline.
what trump is doing is likewise against orthodoxy but his goal is not.
to return america to a country which produces more of its needs internally. that way you slow (and maybe even reverse) the hollowing out of the middle class that is sweeping most of the west.
that is not to say that there is anything correct about what he is doing but the fundamentals for something drastic to be done are there.
the famous case of dr M standing alone against western economic thought shows that the orthodoxy is not always correct.
now trump is not dr. M but when discussing this we should not take our theory from the mainstream news outlets. especially partisan america ones.
are THESE tariffs the right thing to do. probably not.
can tariffs play a role. yes they can.
tariffs do not necessarily import inflation (esp. mid to long term) as substitution should occur though other trade routes.

more generally about trump an 'em they are working off the philosophy connected to the great replacement theory.
dig a little into the literary works connected to that. (the french again: Renaud Camus - Wikipedia ).
trump is manoeuvring the western world into accepting the previously (in polite company) unacceptable "reality of the world" that he musk and them believe in.
for that you need to look at what spencer, gorka, bannon, miller, renaissance society etc have in common.
