@gkelly Do you really believe any country’s ability to sell cheaper goods is a form of economic weaponization to destroy other societies? History defines a cycle of economic growth and inflation that starts with mass unemployment in underdeveloped countries, industrialization with employment of the masses at low compensation producing low quality goods. As industrialization progresses together with modernization, quality improves increasing international competitiveness. Just use as an example Japanese transistor radios and cars from the 1970s to now, and the parallel development of Japan’s society and economy, including fair wages. Unemployment decreases and there is a gradual shift towards fairer compensation and a more developed labor market. Prices increase. We experienced this in our Industrial Revolution. We facilitated Japan, then South Korea, where this cycle is very evident. In China, the cycle is moving forward. India will become the next China, maybe even more of a competitor since they are focusing on service industries as well as manufacturing. Our own US companies have fallen short in retooling to be competitive, with less efficient processes increasing manufacturing costs. Our own US companies as true capitalist moved manufacturing off shores. Tariffs will not address the issues but rather increase cost of goods for us (inflation). The intrinsic issues need to be addressed. To me reciprocal tariffs is a fair principle (treat others as they treat you), weaponization of tariffs is not.
