I think the bigger issue what is the actual standard for dialing back these tariffs - like “10% tariff unless fentanyl stops” what the fuck does that even mean? How do you assess that? And it completely ignores that supply will always emerge to meet demand - it’s not that China is MAKING American do fent, nor is it that China is the only place fent can be produced and then brought into the US. Finally, what happens when countries and regional blocks decide to produce for themselves (or they just buy from China and others) specifically so that DONT have to buy things from the US. We gunna hit people with tariffs for not buying enough of our stuff to incentivize them to buy more of our stuff. We might see some temporary seemingly positive effects but this is deep idiocy all the way down.
