The consumer wins a product that costs less and has quality that meets his standards or else he wouldn’t buy it.
He's definitely not wrong about the cost of regulation in the US, but he appears clueless about why a MAACO or Earl Scheib paint job was so cheap. He might want to revisit the costs involved in hiring skilled labor, doing paint prep, and using quality materials before continuing to blindly blame "regulations."There’s a reason car manufacturers shifted their production to other countries, and Trump’s tariffs, unfortunately, ignore that reason.

Doubtful. Dan is on record as being OK with slave labor as long as he gets the price he wants.
I don't think foreign country's courts have the same compassion for injured workers as they do here in the US.
So you are aligned with the Democrats and the progressives that the government needs to regulate, regulate, regulate to the point manufacturers find it more cost effective to move production out of the country. Interesting to know that you join the Democrats. I would have never thought that would happen.
Whether he means it or not what Trump is advocating is the standard authoritarian bait and switch in which we are offered a great reward if we’ll just give up a smidgen of our liberty. Authoritarianism never preserves liberty, and its reward is never as good as expected. At some point things turn and get worse, so the authoritarian “cure” is to say it just hasn’t been authoritarian enough. Relinquish a little more of your liberty and this time we’ll have everything perfect. That’s the way it has always played out and that’s the way it always will.
Hmmmmmm, did you forget about this thread, Dodge?

Interpretation is in the eye of the beholder. I trust people clicking onto your link will read it to the end. At no point do i say I’m good with slave labor for any reason, much less so i can get a product at a price I want.Hmmmmmm, did you forget about this thread, Dodge?
Explaining The Economic Errors Of “Tax The Rich” & “Tariff China”
By h How do you counter countries that trade unfairly? By leaving your own people free to decide with whom they want to trade.
It's weird how your dipshittery catches up to you. How's your Hezbollah boyz doing? We haven't seen any your glowing fan boy posts about them lately.
Ignore it if you please. I’m 78 and won’t be around to say I told you so when it happens. When the day comes just remember to think: “Damn! Dan told me this would happen.”
You should read the article. It explains that over-zealous government regulation drove the cost of producing cars so high it forced the manufacturers to move out if they wanted to stay competitive. Those regulations are still in place and will still be in place if a 25% tariff is imposed. Whether tariffs force the manufacturers to come back to the US is up for grabs. (From this point forward this is me talking, not the author of the link.) So we Americans have a choice to make. Allow government bureaucrats to regulate us in contravention of our liberty, allow a government president dictate to us from whom we can by products in contravention of our liberty, or refuse to trade our liberty in exchange for government oppression regardless of how minimal we are told it is or how good a deal it is to let government make our decisions for us. From my libertarian perspective it doesn’t matter whether the oppression is coming from Democrats/leftist progressives who say their oppressive regulation is making us safe or MAGA/right wingers who insist a president forcing producers to operate the way he wants them to operate, our liberty is the victim. Our Founding Fathers advised us to jealously guard our liberty no matter who is attacking it. We should heed their advice.
MMMM interpretation is in the eye of the beholder? Oh you mean you misspoke when your own words are about as clear as it come.
Doesn't get more clear than yes or no.
You’re hearing what you want to hear. Free people aren’t free unless they can make their own decisions. At no point did I advocate what Medic accused me of. If Country A is a society of free people and Country B has slave labor there is no governmental entity in Country A to prevent the purchase of goods from Country B. What prevents the purchase is the moral code of the buyer. What prevents the purchase is the knowledge/understanding by the buyer that he will be treated as pariah by his fellow citizens. You can interpret that to mean I personally want to buy products made by slaves because the price might be cheaper (there’s no historical evidence that it would be), but you would be wrong. Both you and Medic know you are wrong, but since I condemn your beloved Israel and have issues with your political lord and savior you pretend you’ve found a gotcha.
How'd that "Israel is full of white foreign Jews" work out for you? Or that Hezbollah ass kicking of the IDF that you promised was happening? We nuked Japan because we hated them? Or how about your famous "gang rape isn't systematic rape" nonsense?
Please don't pretend you didn’t post that stuff. You look stupid enough as it is, Dodge.
Delusion is an unbecoming trait in you, Medic. You are an intelligent man. You should try and apply some of your intelligence in a dispute rather than intentionally twist words into a perceived gotcha. We are never going to agree on Israel. You will back them regardless of how many monstrous atrocities it commits. I will condemn those atrocities.
So you didn't post that stuff, Dodge? Is that really the story you're going with?
I posted what i posted, Medic. You heard what you wanted to hear.
I said “yes.” I did not say “I’m good with buying products made by slaves as long as the price is right,” You heard that on your own.
Dodge, of course you posted what you posted. That's a solid 10/10 on the "well duh" scale. I'm simply reminding you of the dipshittery you've posted. I'm not sure why you were trying desperately to add liar to your resume by trying to deny posting the dumb shit you've posted.
What is the mistake? Are we a free people or are we not? If we are free then our government should not prevent us from trading freely with a foreign entity, business or government that uses slave labor. What should prevent us from making any such trade is our moral compass and our willingness to condemn and isolate anyone who violates our moral compass. The only reason you don't understand what I'm saying is you don't want to understand it. I condemn Israel and that is beyond the pale for you to accept, you must turn me into an enemy to be opposed at every turn.
I have denied nothing, Medic, beyond your absurd accusations that I said things I didn't say.
