.Palmer Luckey explains why he supports specific tariffs after decades without them have destroyed America and Europe's manufacturing industry: "It's not just the U.S. that China has hollowed out. It's everybody. It's the entire West. Tariffs are great because they ensure there is a market for manufacturing. And a... show more

@PalmerLuckey Trump would make tariffs great again.
@PalmerLuckey Strategic tariffs to protect critical infrastructure and capabilities makes a lot of sense. Personally I wouldn’t mind wider tariffs replacing the personal income tax instead.
What if the problem is not that we lack tariffs. What if the problem is not that we lack anything. What if the problem is something we have, that they don't.
@PalmerLuckey Tariffs replace taxes. They want more taxes to send overseas so they can get kickbacks. Hard to get bribes from tariffs
@PalmerLuckey What destroyed American car manufacturing and other industries was not the competition, but our own extensive government regulation made it impossible to compete on cost. Slavery is NOT efficient - American workers are far more productive when they are allowed to be.
@PalmerLuckey You people don't even know how tariffs work. It's sad.
@PalmerLuckey Reagan put tariffs on Japanese cars in the 80's because they were dumping them at a loss to hurt the domestic market. It helped saving the Big Three from going under.
@PalmerLuckey If you're going to have tariffs, careful with overregulation and cryonyism; You'll make everything overly expensive and create an incentive to offshore again
@PalmerLuckey More important idea from this interview:
@PalmerLuckey Why would corporations support tariffs?
![Barry Sternlicht recently gave a VERY insightful interview about tariffs and what it means for real estate prices - what he said is troubling: "The promotion of American manufacturing is a great idea, but we are not a manufacturing nation... We only have 13 million jobs of 160 million in manufacturing, and we're running a 4% unemployment rate. So I'm not sure who's going to work in all these factories. We're going to need some really quick efforts from Musk and Zuckerberg in robotics to actually build, have people work in these factories. Americans don't want to do that. That's not the jobs that they're interested in taking today... I think the tariffs are super complicated... I do think the focus should be on China. We run a $250 billion trade deficit with China... China is [the] second largest economy in the world with a fixed currency. And that alone is not right. That currency should go up and down with trade flows like every other major currency. So you start there. And I don't think the tariffs are tactical. And the if you put them in place, as [Trump] just did with steel tariffs, American companies will raise prices. So it is very inflationary. And for real estate, it's really bad. [For example] we need [Canada's] lumber. Or we can chop down our own trees but it's a bad thing. We run an equal trade deficit with Canada other than oil but we use their oil... if we don't buy it, they're going to ship it to Asia. For existing owners [of real estate], it's good because to build a new building will be more expensive. So the existing office stock, the existing apartment stock is going to be worth more. But it's bad because the numbers won't work to create new [buildings]. You won't be able to build anything. We already have a four to five million unit housing shortage... And you're seeing it in the sentiment of the builders that they're nervous. Everyone's a little nervous."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1911554042742145505/amplify_video_thumb/1911553788067876864/img/e1ax0AoKoQBdJMBl.jpg)
