Consumers immediately recognize which goods are locally produced and which are imported. The consumer can then freely decide whether to support MEGA or not, by choosing the domestic product. Interestingly, European goods are purchased in 75% of all cases. Trump can't really punish their country with further tariffs because the consumer made the decision, not the foreign government. Whiskey from the U.S. has become a shelf warmer without needing to impose tariffs. I think that is a pretty clever approach and it doesn't ruin the economy.

If the whole rest of the world wakes up and follows your stated initiative, then countries will become independent and self sufficient again. Sovereignty will take precedence over global economy, and the world will get out of this Bull$hit trade deficit and global debt scam.

But we've had this conversation before... So, I really don't expect you to understand.

THEN,
there's prophecy... LOL grin

Hold on to your hat, Rob.
Someone is eventually going to show up with a solution that you can accept... and he will probably convince you that god (little g) is just misunderstood.

Checkers vs Chess, Rob...
