Welp, today is the day we stop buying as many US products as we can as a counter measure to 45's tariffs. Sorry to any of you that may lose your jobs as a result.

I know the dairy + syrup industries are going to feel this on both sides. What else is at the top of the list?
It's hard to have too much sympathy for these kind of protests, though.
A world in which consumer goods are very expensive but made locally seems, to me, very much preferable to one where they're very cheap but made elsewhere.

Boy do I have bad news for these people
Quote:
By overwhelming majorities, voters in each political party said they opposed the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision to allow businesses and corporations to spend without limit on political campaigns. In all, 64 percent of respondents said they wanted Trump to pick a Supreme Court nominee who would “limit the amount of money corporations and unions can spend on political campaigns.” That included 70 percent of Democrats and a remarkable 67 percent of Republicans alongside 60 percent of independents. Just 24 percent of all respondents said they did not want a Supreme Court nominee to curb that right.
63 percent of voters said they did not want Trump to nominate someone who would make abortion illegal, while 29 percent said they did want that type of nominee. Those margins were fueled by Democrats and independents who overwhelmingly said they wanted the Supreme Court to uphold the landmark case Roe v. Wade. Eighty percent of Democrats opposed Trump nominating a judge who would make abortion illegal and 66 percent of independents said the same. For Republican respondents, 53 percent said they would like the next justice to vote to make abortion illegal, while 41 percent said they would not.
Republicans: We are now working on a new approach to ending the ACA, while dehumanizing as many immigrants as we can and whooping excitedly about this chance to end RvW.
Media: Lets ask some Trump voters in a diner about it.
Democrats: (elect one person who uses phrases like “jobs guarantee” and “housing as a human right”)
Media: my god Democrats are going to lose independent voters with this kind of language and also because they’re being so divisively uncivil

This is a confounding opinion.
A world in which the best producer for a given good or service was paid a fair price relative to their economy, and that the safety and well-being of their workers could be guaranteed regardless of their nationality, would be the ideal.
