You're contrasting against free trade, which doesn't exist, so none of those things you're worried about are introduced by adding tariffs from here... they're the status quo.
so just to be clear... does the us manufacture more, or less, than they did back in the 1970s?

In terms of what exactly? Percentage of GDP? Does assembling foreign parts count?
Whatever fake data you might contrive to rationalize big L losertarian virtue signals doesn't matter, the fact remains that the national security apparatus has identified and is responding to the existential threat of the currency war.
Just because you don't like guns doesn't mean violence doesn't exist, same applies to currency wars, they're simply pre-kinetic.
Losertarians are habitually ineffective, so i know laying down and dying in the face of existential threat comes easy... so long as they can virtue signal all the way down. Fortunately no one is listening to them, because they're just as enured to a false reality as the 57 gender people.

Has gone full retard.
The 'economic policy' of the White House is complete and total incoherence, utterly self-defeating and inconsistent.
Sure Bitcoiners will eventually "be fine" - but the world is changing very fast. And somehow people, including some Americans, think that trashing alliances, trashing the dollar, taking on unsustainable debt, and taxing your citizens to death will "make you richer" but it's totally the opposite.
I believe that when it's all over... Bitcoin will be the only thing left standing - Great for Bitcoiners of course - but it is a total unraveling of US economic leadership and world trade for reasons I just don't understand.

Someone already posted that retarded article
I just don't understand
Because you're thinking very, VERY small.
All roads lead to Bitcoin yes, but not by accident, by design. It's a currency war, get that through your head.
Unless you've been in a SCIF recently you're just clueless as to the objectives and the steps toward achieving them, it's not them who are stupid, it's anyone who believes the WWE is real and that there's no script.

Dude there is no script. I honestly believe the US administration is just making things up as they go. Trump doesn't like free trade so his toadies are making it up as they go to comply with that.
But there are huge costs.
I actually really like the article. I think it's 100% on point
reply
I'm not even sure how to respond to such stupidity.
You're mentally ill or brainwashed if you think you know something the guys in the SCIFs that seized these levels of power do not.
