protectionist tariff is so 1970's. Be consumer facing and be agile and innovative. Asking the govt to prop up your business model is fine but just be aware that it happen at the expense of the consumer with higher costs. It is perhaps a selfish position that is not truly in the best interest of the people. If I can buy local and not risk damage in shipping and have to buy twice I will always buy local. If you can't manufacture competitively without govt artificially propping you up then your business model sucks dude. with a proper use of VAT pass through you should (imo) be able to be competitive with international suppliers with the right product and service.
Is now a good time to revisit Davis client nygard and Bobo and toady? A fox can put on a sheep costume. When we have a fox in the hen house there is only one outcome. The people out these joker in power and are warning their just rewards. On another note if we remove the economic motivation for gangs running black. Market drugs then you remove the the crime problem overnight but no one has the cahones to do it.
I say let em buy the land and pay for it. Does $10,000 per 1/2 acre parcel of crown land bush in the middle of nowhere without any utilities or services or paved roads sound fair?
