I am OK with tariffs
Mar. 5th, 2018 07:05 amFinally, the Prince of Orange has done something useful.
OK, I am a contrarian, I don't believe in globalization, I think that we are stupid to try and hold onto everything. I am sick of the "professional class" and their sneering condescension. I don't think that our sticking our nose in everyone's business is going to end well. I think we have to start rebuilding something resembling a national economy that doesn't make the rich richer.
We can only do that with factories and blue collar jobs and strong unions. Fuck the banks, fuck the financiers, fuck Wall Street.
The well-to-do fuckwads who have feathered their nest at other peoples expense can start paying more. The rich can start paying a lot more.
Here is the quote for this new century
“Trade wars are good, easy to win,” tweeted Trump, knowing the statement would trigger every nerd with a college degree. Some worried about their jobs. But not terribly. Because their unemployment rate is just 2%, their labor force participation is 74%. They’re as well off as they’ve ever been. Particularly when set against those who never went to college, 5% of whom are unemployed, and 50% don’t even participate in the labor force. They’ve given up. These trade policies are for these forgotten people. To hell with the consequences. That’s the point.
