Fun fact: the existence of atrocity factories like CIA and the US military doesn’t mean that benevolent public agencies, institutions, and social programs don’t exist.
Just like you being against murdering innocents abroad and also against paying your fair share to help protect them domestically, the US government contains both good and evil parts.
Unlike you, though, millions of people would not be able to survive without the good that government does.
Guess I wasn’t clear enough: use brain constructively, INSTEAD of for stupidity.
Because taxes AREN’T only federal. There’s federal taxes, state taxes and local (AKA municipal) taxes.
Libertarianism is stupidity. Use brain.
Nope. The location of the factories was never the point.
The point is what the effects of tariffs would be: they would help the bottom line of Western competitors and nothing else at the expense of Chinese workers and German consumers. It wouldn’t help Chinese slaves in any way.
THAT’S the point. THAT’S what matters.
It seems whatever one says, no matter if evidence proofs otherwise
Dude. You haven’t presented any evidence. You have CLAIMED that there is a car factory in Xinjiang and, rather than waste a bunch of time and energy confirming or disproving your claim, which is irrelevant to tariffs, I reiterated the important part.
continuing with your false narrative and spreading your opinion
I’m not making any false claims (with the possible exception of mistakenly thinking that there’s no car factories in Xinjiang) and the fact that the ones paying for the tariffs would be Germans buying more expensive cars as well as Chinese workers losing their jobs as their employers lose market share is just that: a fact. NOT an opinion.
To quote yourself to yourself, your points in your statement above are false again.
Even so, tariffs on Chinese cars won’t do anything to lessen the problem of slavery and will hurt Chinese workers and people who want to wean themselves off fossil fuels IMMENSELY.
The two issues of tariffs and slavery aren’t related and that you’re using the former as a defense department the latter is a sign that you don’t have any real reasons not to oppose such destructive protectionism.
It’s like saying that there should be a tariff on American cars because number plates are being made via penal slavery.
Guess what: Chinese cars aren’t even made in Xinjiang.
Politicians are just conflating two completely unrelated issues to drum up support for eliminating the supply of cheaper in demand products that consumers prefer over the overly expensive choices from the Western owner donors.
We agree that the ethnic cleansing and slavery in Xinjiang is absolutely abhorrent and that workers throughout China should have much better wages and conditions, but this would have no effect on the former and devastatingly negative consequences for the latter.
German companies support tariffs on Chinese products
Well, duh! It would be great for the bottom line of the German companies to have less competition.
Awful for the German consumers and the Chinese workers who’d be the ones actually bearing the burdens of the tariffs, though.
Counteroffer: it continues to mean asshole in Italy and now also the rest of the world.
My bad, on the fly currency conversion error 😁. Best under $150-200 is more accurate.
Fair enough lol
That, and they’re simply the best controllers for pc under $150-200
Edit: corrected currency conversion error
Based on the fact that they’re by far the best controllers for pc under $150-200, I’d say 59% ACTUAL Xbox controllers is plausible.

This same thing, amongst other excellent recent pro-consumer rulings?
Probably still much more expensive per hour not spent standing in line, though…

Protectionism is a valid reason to deny it
No it isn’t. Protectionism is jingoist bullshit. Always has been, always will be.
I wonder if denying Chinese tech under the guise of national security a last ditch attempt from big oil lobbyists?
Definitely. The leadership of both major US parties are pretty much owned by the fossil fuel industries.
Even progressives advocating for the Green New Deal won’t say the part about gradually eliminating fossil fuel use out loud out of fear of fossil fuel industry lobbyists and the politicians they own doing an AIPAC.
Or is that too far fetched
Not at all.
