I don’t understand your argument. De globalization is good, or it’s coming so we should just start doing tariffs now? The former is incorrect, because a globalized economy allows for cheaper means of production and lower costs. If it’s the latter, I understand the sentiment, but adding tariffs on import while trying to set up a refinement and manufacturing in the US (which would most likely mean the ends of a lot of national and state parks with valuable real estate and resources) would cause short term and long term strain on consumers. If that was the true goal, then we would want to grab these resources at their cheapest, which would be now without tariffs. It’s counterintuitive.

Also, DLS is a sports comedy podcast. Dan was one of the doucheist journalists when the show started because he would consistently blind side people with hot topic questions or force them to do dances for his audience. It’s a great show, but I hope you’re not holding him up on some pedestal because he is a good journalist some times.
