I remember, a long time ago, when we started to have fuel efficiency standards. The Japanese hired well educated engineers to solve the fuel efficiency problem, the US #bigCorp hired lawyers and lobbyist to go to DC to have our laws changed.It is still going on today and in all areas of business.
Want a present day example.
our gov gives more grants to bigCorp for 4 wheel electric cars but not to #aptera which has a well designed 3 wheel electric car....because it has 3 wheels. -

A nice textbook description of how #tariff work; not related to what #HomoStupidus is proposing.We live in a world of crony #capitalism, #bigCorp monopoly controlled economies run by mendacious narcissistic sociopaths where words don't mean anything.
This "tariff" is a con to repressively tax the little guy, to make it appear that we can then give the billionaires another #taxcut and allow them to increase profits, raise prices and concentrate more wealth.

how about the #moralhazard of a corporation/bank to not make loans that can not be repaid or bigCorps to take excess profits or pay low wages because of monopoly control of a market.
Being spared from their own responsibilities, #bigCorp might continue to take #excessive profits from future folks that are just trying to live.

An interesting report from our Federal Trade Commission #FTC, one of our oversight commission that the #conservative want to destroy,
covering the price of drugs in the US. Have you ever hear of a Pharmacy Benefit Managers #PBM ; yea neither had I. A good review here. Its not what you might think based on the name.and the actual report.
