  • So tariffs go on consumer goods, so it’s like a consumer goods tax.

    He has said before that he likes the idea of pre income tax America where tariffs paid for a small government.

    Well, when you decrease income tax in favor of consumption tax, lower income folks tend to contribute more in that situation than rich people given how they spend most of their money on shit they need.

    So it’s a wealth transfer, kind of boring once you realize their plan comes down to: more money for the rich, like, every single time…

  • If things keep getting worse, could Canada in theory steal IP and just try to make the best EV it can by copying others including Tesla (if it’s worth copying)?

    It’s a great time to boost Canadian manufacturing. Hint hint Ottawa

  • Globalization IS a good thing.

    Nope. If something can be produced locally, you would pay less transportation costs.

    By definition, it’s less work to access goods and services that are closer, unless your country can’t produce it, then you outsource.

  • It’s always darkest before the dawn.

    How I interpret it is that when things get bad, and reach a new level of bad, that could be just what is needed for the pendulum to swing the other way, and swing extra hard.

    Kind of like a Great Depression giving labour laws kind of a thing.

    Gives me hope.
