| You're just going to Galapagos your economy. Consumers won't put up with high prices and inferior goods. Unless you want to restrict internet/information access so your consumers don't know what they are missing out on. |

| I dunno. Consumers put up with a lot. Why can't I buy a cheap Chinese EV again? |

| Nah, I live in the UK, prices are higher than eu, public service is much worse, but public are voting for the party with members that brought this about. Humans are weird. |
