labor cost for product is $3, which goes to a chinese worker. total product cost is $5.
scenario "manufactured in the USA":
labor cost is $6, which goes to american worker. total product cost is $10.
the product gets more expensive, but the extra expenses partially go to an american worker, which again will spend the money in the US economy, so it doesn't really cost the national economy that much.
however, the extra $4 in the "manufactured in the USA" scenario go to american middle-management and "investors" a.k.a skimmed by the owning class. that is why the people would still lose out. that is why "home-shoring" in itself is not enough; a wealth tax is also needed.
Context/explanation: (at least that's how i explain it to myself)
It's about pride. Trump doesn't like that the "greatest of all countries" US is threatening to have an (even larger) export deficit with china in the future, so he wants to put up tariffs to slow down international trade; this way the deficit becomes a bit smaller he hopes.
And while we're already at it, let's extend these tariffs to europe, just for good measure, or so
(Almost) all poverty in western nations today is artificial; That means, poverty is intentionally created to keep people on their toes, because it is believed that makes them go to work. The economy needs workforce, after all.
When there's a smaller demand for workers, I believe UBI support will go up. That is why I support AI.
At some poinz one has to ask oneself not whether one can, but whether one should. Is it really worth it trying everything and giving your all for a company which will probably ditch you in the end, after all? I don't think so. Don't put in more effort than you expect to get as a result.
You're also forgetting that cereals contain almost no vitamins or fiber, but avocado does. So, to make up for it, you should eat a salad to your cereals. Then calculate the price again. You will find (I guess) that avocado can compete with cereals+salad.
Euclid (guy from ~2500 years ago) wrote a book called "Elements" where he described how various geometrical figures could be constructed with using only circles and straightlines (and their intersections).
This is one example from that book: How to construct the equilateral triangle.
step 1. draw a circle A
step 2. draw a circle B with the same radius and with the origin on the circle A.
step 3. connect the three points (origins of two circles) and any intersection of the circles with each other, and you get an equilateral triangle.
