Brexit

Pyro as Bill said:

Tariffs are headline news, it's the quotas and restrictions that are bullshit.

Australian Beef has 80% tariffs. It's not just economics. Brits would prefer to give their money to Ozzies and Kiwis over France and Germany.

We're fine with free trade (we invented it). We're set to embarass the EU and Trump with how 'free trade' we are.

Abolishing tariffs and lowering prices makes everyone richer. If the EU wants to apply tariffs, let them. We still win with unilateral tariff reductions and we get to fuck eurodisneyland at the same time.

part of the reason is protectionism.
You can question how effective it is, but its done in part, to keep competition equal, to countries where wages are lowered.
So that production doesnt move out of your country.

That is why Trump wanted tarifs on steel, hopeing to help the industry sector in the us, that makes steel.
If your too generous with free trade, watch more and more production & jobs move overseas.

Captialism and greed, leads that way.
So it doesnt really benefit everyone, but mostly the rich that own companies.
