  • I can’t imagine that it happens. Usually tariffs are targeted but Trump is doing large scale blanket tariffs. The world economy is much more intertwined than it used to be. Even if factory jobs were brought back there are many problems with that.

    Firstly to avoid tariffs everything for the product would need to be made in the US and very little is made completely in a single country these days.

    Second the same applies to all the factory equipment.

    Then you have to ask would factories employ people at large rates or would they automate?

    I could go on but i feel like the point has been made why blanket tariffs are bad
