If nothing else, Trump is a disruptor, a “circuit breaker” between the entrenched status quo of today and something different, perhaps even better for American workers and less so for Wall Street and the Globalist corporate and financial elite.
The Wall Street sell-off is a good sign that the 40-year run-up in corporate wealth relative to domestic wage growth is coming to an end — and that’s a good thing.
Two questions that are left unanswered. If tariffs placed on our imports are so bad, why are aren’t the tariffs (and other barriers to trade) placed by other countries on our exports equally bad? If our tariffs can be removed by the simple act of removing yours why don’t you just remove yours and embrace free trade? No one seems able to answer these questions.
"by funding networks of charging stations, battery research and production, and the improvement of the grid" I seem to remember the charging stations mentioned as being in the news of late. Like billion spent, not one built. Our government seems incapable of doing anything other than funding endless studies by non profits.
Laos, a country I'm very familiar with exports fiber optic cable and telephones to the US. Two out of the three biggest exports here. I know Laos is good at sticky rice. Phones and fiber are Chinese companies. Just because it's Laos, doesn't make it Laotian.
We should make phones here. They will cost more, that's ok, our workers will make more. I'm looking for industry to move back to the US.
Prices of phones made here will increase way more than the wages of the workers who make them. That’s capitalism 101. And are you gonna pay $3,000 for a made-in-the-USA iPhone? Me neither.
you should check out the labor cost for an i phone. Pay Americans 25X as much and it ups the cost $750. So what. I've had my phone 3+ years and it will probably last another 3. Plus no shipping costs. Also robotics could maybe cut labor costs significantly. I'd certainly pay $1200 for an iphone if I too had a well paying manufacturing job.

Hopefully, this course of action will be the denouement for the recycling of the failed corrupt duopoly rule.
Hopefully, the people will understand that to save the Republic we will have to do it ourselves.
