> not that you're trying to posit a solution that actually functions

Give me an example of a "solution that actually functions," to any problem you know a lot about, during a period of high inflation.

Tariffs on imports.

I saw FIRST HAND that overnight we went from only quoting in China and Taiwan, to quoting and getting deals in USA.

I was writing the quotes, I was approving them. It turned right back around in 2021.

Tariffs are a tax on Americans. The stuff still gets imported -- at a higher cost to cover the tariff.

But it incentivizes making things in the US. This is probably a good thing if the CCP hits hard times.

Thank you for correcting my first-hand experiences. You know what we didn’t do? We didn’t “tax Americans” by continuing to use China, we made what we could in the US.

Great, you're in the minority of companies that did so.

A counterpart at GM was going the same as me. Yea, small company tho.

What I love is that you can’t admit that you could be wrong - when someone on the street is this case is telling you directly.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Just a stubborn ideologue that could never admit Trump was right on this.

Can you define the problem?

Legalizing floating market exchange rates.
