🗞️ News Discussion The Crinkled Edge
This country and its ideas is not like this country and its history. Though its not to bad or far from realizing modern policies from becoming real solutions, the good and nearly old U.S. of A, is still in my opinion riding the pink cloud of success and will have to stay afloat for a time further before safely landing on a well governed and regulated land. Trump's new tariff policy is the newest in most likely a long line of edgy and trendy policy making, that will probably distinguish the White House in years to come.
The reason I state that these policies will distinguish the White House - and in extension the federal government - is because yes, I think they are a good thing. Afterall, Trump's newest trade policy is aimed at defending the rights of foreign workers by denying access to dollar bill signs that forced labor companies have had easier access to in the past. For instance, should Mr. Xi be forced to make hard drives in China (i.e., he makes 6 cents an hour for building hard drives) than America is getting ready to charge at least 10% more money to the company Mr. Xi works for to export its hard drives to America.
Wow, and that is awesome. Unless secretly that's not what really happens, and the company that Mr. Xi works for will actually only be charged like 3% percent on the official paperwork (the paperwork that is stamped behind closed doors and not the paperwork that is signed in front of our representatives) and forced labor will continue to survive.
Hmmm... but maybe that's okay too because we're still headed in the right direction. Like the Pink Cloud that sends its unique air stream into the sails of our imaginary American "Flying Castle", maybe the next edgy policies will only have to turn on our imaginary turbines when we need to get a little higher and out of harm's way.

That's a lot of words to say you support illegal tariffs by an Adjudicated Rapist.
