Muhammad is correct - his playground, his rules.

Having said that, we allow more than almost any other non-violent, non-criminal forum.

The professor and I use to have epic debates on this way back in 2017 on this issue.

I wish I could go back and see some of the discussions and see who was right.

What ever happened to the professor, is he still alive.

Puts me in an awkward position. I’m a free trade absolutist. On the other hand, I see using tariffs makes a ton of sense. If countries are going to aid the abuse of our weak border policy then they deserve the effects of having to play hard ball against US foreign policy.

Tariffs go both ways. Sometimes they help problematic countries change their restrictive import policies (China) and sometimes it hurts consumers in the tariff land. (us here) Just depends on who is printing the news that day.

I'll vote for tariffs if the personal income tax disappears.

I'm struggling to find another tool at our disposal to affect outcomes? Nation states have done this effectively for decades.
