I think we've taken free market to an extreme in a race to the bottom. Tariffs are probably a good thing, but maybe not in the way they have been currently implemented. Almost 15% of the country is on SNAP and we're spending hundreds of billions per month on debt interest. I'm not sure how we come back from this.
Frankly the race to the bottom does result in net good for humanity as a whole - but the transition period is not kind to the people who are losing their jobs.
