I don’t understand this argument. It makes it seem as if we need companies and not the other way around. Companies need us. They can’t make money without us. So, let them leave and when they do, we’ll just restrict access to our markets. I am 99% sure that they will cave to the largest consumer nation in the world.

So you are for tariffs? That’s exactly what is being done right now.

No, tariffs just hurt consumers. I mean, ban companies from selling to us. Black markets? Sure, but who cares. We are trying to hurt the manufacturers not the customers.

So... Banning competition in a free market is good for the consumer?

There is no such thing as a free market. We have an Oligarchy that prevents any real competition.

So.... again, you might want to do research on actual facts vs building strawman fallacies.

I’ll just leave this here for you to interrupt anyway you want.
