re: #276 William Barnett-Lewis

They can be a useful tool, more short term than long to me. I’ll sign it because I think they should be on the table, not so much that I think they’ll be much more useful than as threat or, as Obdicut mentions, tied to overseas working conditions and wages.

Perhaps a tariff that is contingent on the prevailing wage in that country to raise the cost of the product to the same as it would cost at the prevailing wage in the US? Etc…

Tariffs are probably not the wave of the future, but might be a useful stopgap until we can unionize third-world economies like Myanmar and Alabama. Looking into wh.gov registration.
