What folks don't talk about, is that the reason for all the offshoring, is good old-fashioned American Greed™.

Lots of billionaires in the US, got that way, by exporting all their production to China. Because they did it, lots of lower-tier people had to do the same, or go out of business.

Since we worship billionaires, that little bit never seems to get mentioned, as it makes them look bad.

The only cure is to cost some of those billionaires money.

Ain't gonna happen.

But that was the entire point of the Trump tariffs? Or am I missing something here?

		The money is not coming out of the billionaires’ pockets. Tariffs are ultimately a tax on American consumers and small businesses. Large businesses owned by billionaires just increased prices. Now, if the government is forced to repay tariffs, then they will be refunded to the companies. Consumers and small businesses who were forced to close will get no benefit. In the end, whether the tariffs are kept or the tariffs are struck down, the consumer gets screwed and the billionaires get richer.
