The practices of buying goods for production? That some resources (aluminum) exist in other parts of the world? That others (tea) are better produced in a different climate?

What the hell are you even talking about?

Edit: Just to be clear here - this is a manufactured problem by the POTUS. There is absolutely no reason for the tariffs other than a complete lack of understanding of basic economics. Capitalism (especially effectively unregulated as it is now) is atrocious, but this isn't an example of capitalism being a problem (well aside from it being used as an excuse to raise prices).

This is just stupid policies being enacted. Its a tax on Americans and nothing else. This is just as insanely idiotic as slashing a bunch of programs that idiots dont bother to understand, which either are a net benefit for the US or an extremely cheap global benefit, whether humanitarian or economic.

Short answer: the people in charge are ignorant and destructive.
