Please, prices do increase, even during a recession, look at the local gas station.

Which of course, ignores the fact that Tariffs are voluntary taxation as well as domestic competition is just as viable as one’s beloved Globalism, the problem is it doesn’t maximize Global Corporation’s profits.

How is it voluntary when domestic producers raise their prices because of the tariff?

the problem is it doesn’t maximize Global Corporation’s profits.

Does Arcelor Mittal in the US benefit when US steel tariffs are imposed?
