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?
Enas:
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.
How do service industries function under communism?
Firms moved production oversees because they refused to pay livable wages, if it weren’t economical to off shore manufacturing they would have stayed here which is why I support a tariff regime to fund the government

I had a comment all written out then my phone deleted it when I fat fingered a button.
Basically a robust tariff regime is what’s needed to compete and secure our sovereignty as a nation, the problem is Trump pays lip service to that but he doesn’t mean it and uses tariffs as a form of statecraft to get countries to do what he wants.
It might not matter who makes a toliet seat or a t shirt, but what happens when we no longer have the ability to produce warships or tanks? Or the ability to manufacture arms? Or computer chips.

When a firm buys goods from an importer they pay the importer and the importer pays a tax on the income that is what a tariff is.
If an importer were to increase the cost of their goods it would just make them pay more income tax.
I’m not saying I’m not hurt by it I’m saying the price of goods isn’t effected purely out of economic principle.
The tariffs never went into effect. Except for the ones on China. The stock market crashed because Trump was using tariffs as a tool of statecraft and the market was uncertain. Ie people weren’t buying and making deals because they were like “hmm let’s wait the grass might be greener”

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.

Trump capitulated to his donors the second the market crashed which just shows what will happen in 90s days. The market isn’t real it’s based on speculation it was super volitle because no one was sure what was happening. We didn’t even import goods with the tariff, it was a week.

No because most food products come from America. We’re like the world’s biggest exporter of food.
And most importers are American anyways.
I don’t support Trump at all but I supported the tariffs because it made billionaires who got Trump elected lose money, 500 billion dollars to be exact, and just shows anyone who’s paying attention who’s truly in power. I want representation in my government not lobbyists and tech billionaires.

I took a small break from actively gaining weight, I basically just spent two weeks eating a normal amount of food and because my metabolism is so annoyingly fast I lost around 10 lbs. But somehow in that time I started getting stretch marks on my sides just underneath my armpits. The stretch marks on my love handles which had turned a white/purple color also started to turn bright red at their tips and grew a little longer. I have no idea how this happened since I lost weight. Either way I'm now going to try to gain it back plus a lot more
sounds to me more like skin irritation on stretch marks that were already there. I tend to notice more stretch marks when I’m less bloated so maybe you justice noticed them not being as buffed up from losing weight. Skin and skin elasticity is weird
