there’s enough demand in the American market any importer will pay reluctantly at a loss, the importer could hike prices all they want it would only increase the tax.

there are going to be people who say import taxes are justifying price increases merely to make profit it’s economical.

I mean, kudos to you if you can take the hit, but that's not a lot of people. And RIP to the small businesses that are failing specifically because of the tariffs.

We also lack the infrastructure to manufacture all the overseas products here. It will take years, over a decade in some cases. If he wanted to create more American jobs by forcing businesses to operate over here, this is the worst way to do it.

The wealthy will always find ways to stay wealthy. They will probably be fine in the long term concerning the tariffs. But the average American? Not so much.

Throughout the history of capitalism, its dynamic center has shifted. There has never been a succesful attempt to stop this, by any country/region that it was leaving from.

I think the only way in which America could get out of this is by building a huge worker coop sector, which will certainly not move anywhere, but the sociopaths running the country will have none of it.

How will a huge worker coop help us in a service based debt economy?

A huge worker coop *sector*.

It would alter the very conditions that led you to a service based debt economy in the first place!

For example instead of corporations abandoning workers in your country (which are then left to rot), you would have democratic control of industry by said workers. And, guess what, they would NEVER fire themselves in order to move the production elsewere. You also dont need to start from scratch, the US already has vast amounts of industrial machinery that is simply gathering rust and dust in the moment.
