    What quote? Who was saying it without context? Why does the context make it better? These are all important questions.

    Thanks. Now that I know the context, nothing changes.

      Be careful you can get a cramp from reaching that far.

          Bloodbath was common hyperbole in buisness up until 2 days ago.

    No idea what you’re giving context to, but I find the quote interesting. A core principle of capitalism is competition. Competition is what breeds ingenuity, advancement, and lower costs. Imposing tariffs to keep competition out should have the opposite effect. Say you’re the CEO of Ford, and you just heard your main competition has raised their prices by 100%. What would you do? You’d also raise your prices by 100% and reap massive profits.

      Except that Dodge, Chevy, and Tesla all exist and compete with each other. Plus anyone who manufacturers here, like Toyota.

      This is just keeping American factories open.
