I wasn’t implying zero tariffs since BYD is absolutely subsidized by the Chinese government, but more competition is always better for the consumer. Too bad we can’t rely on our government to enact laws that actually encourage competition.
These high tariffs are supported by the likes of Tesla and other car manufacturers that have a US presence. Why? Less competition for them.
And manufacturing left the US because of pure capitalism and greed. If anything THAT’S where more tariffs should be applied. Even out the actual cost of these workers.
When that $20/hr job goes overseas for $3/hr, the workers in the states lose $20, and the company profits from that $17/hr savings for “the shareholders”.
