That was fast.
Encouraging the automakers to stop outsourcing factory work and bring those jobs back to the States was the silver lining, so naturally the Republicans are going to fuck that up too.
Auto manufacturing is already done in North America.
All the posturing about tariffs before the election was about bringing back the manufacturing that has been off shored from North America to countries with lower labour standards (i.e. to India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, etc.), and in the case of China, to stop being so dependent on a country that is veering on outright hostility.
The tariffs against Mexico and Canada have always been asinine and have never served a purpose, and quite frankly, using your economic weight to avoid competition and steal your neighbours jobs doesn’t benefit the world, it’s just being a greedy and immoral dick.
You expected the cluster fuck to slow down?
Nah. Just found it amusing.
