Lolbertarians. Yeesh.
Foreign nations can be forcing children into mines to extract rare earth minerals with their teeth and nails, but the real issue of the day is whether it's immoral to prevent those nations from using the fruits of that oppression to destroy your nation's industrial base or compromise your national security.
"Muh globalist free market! Muh cheap Chinese phone! Muh lolbertarian geopolitical world view!"
You heard it here, RVF. If you lazy pricks want to compete in the phone market then you should do it properly. Forget your tariffs and instead abolish all ethical standards for labor and environmental protection laws. We want children with their tiny, swift fingers assembling phones in the West, being exposed to toxic chemicals that will cause them to die horribly of cancer by the time they're 50.
This is the only ethical way to compete.
Tariffs are just evil.

The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.
