    Do you think we should be entitled to products made by exploited labor classes? Is it okay that we’re okay and they’re not?

      No. I know the jobs won’t come back here even with the tariffs. Its not okay and this is not a solution.

      Mango you got to get your head outta your ass. If you think that tariffs will make jobs come back to America and even more so because you’re doing good, oh brother.

      Example: I buy a t-shirt 15 dollars in China. You’re saying that now we can buy the shirt in the US. For 49 dollars? The money goes back to us? First of all no it doesn’t it still goes to the big leagues in the t-shirt company while minimum wage is 7.25 dollars.

      Secondly: if you can buy the t-shirt with tariffs 25 dollars instead from China, you still do. Why the fuck would you buy it for 49 in the US? Cause it’s American? You know people got bills to pay and health problems right? There’s a reality we live in
