     China and Korea literally get subsidized shipping at the cost of the US tax payer for billions a year. (All those $5 shipping on eBay/AliExpress are due to an ancient program). China fully controls their currency in ways the USD/Euro are not. Some of these countries have 100% tariffs themselves on US goods.

     There is literally no fucking reason in the world we should be importing any beef. The US cattle ranchers produce far more than what's needed if they were allowed to sell at market prices. The FDA is pushing for electric cattle tags, citing concerns about hoof-and-mouth disease, when the easiest way to stop hoof-and-mouth is to not import foreign meats. (e-tags are only used to fine farmers. They provide zero benefit over QR code tags).

     The tariffs are some of the few things the Biden puppeteers kept in place in 2020. Tariffs are a sledge hammer and the US consumer ultimately pays the price. I think Trump is fully aware of how bad they can be. They will increase US jobs in many industries, but there can be a lag of a year or two, and there are far better and precise monetary tools that can be used instead.

     It's all moot anyway. The Larry Finks and Peter Theils of the world are pushing for full economic collapse to replace real money with programmable, traceable and censorable crypto-shit.
