The problem, however (and I'm not picking a side in this, really) is that basically the core of their argument is that it's not "fair".
Man, life isn't fair. Get the fuck over it. Not you personally, but everyone. I see all these people bitching about "it's not fair" - yeah, neither is cancer! Neither is multiple sclerosis! Neither is getting shot in the eyeball on September 4, 1995 and losing vision in your right eye! Neither is getting dumped by that bitch after she fucked your buddy!
People need to take the energy they put into protesting things that "aren't fair" and put it toward developing a solution. There is no <b>right</b> to a market, foreign or domestic. But you <b>do</b> have the right to offer a solution to what you perceive (either rightly so or not) to be a problem.
I'm not coming down on you, Jag. You're just the one that mentioned it. I feel for the people that have trouble because of tariffs and all the problems that are created by international trade, but business does not have a right to a market.
Unfortunately for a lot of foreign markets, the US government is going to (understandably) favor domestically created products. What do the foreign companies need to do? <b>Make a product that's better than the US counterpart.</b> That's what they should be devoting their energy to.
Life's not fair, unfortunately. To these people I say "stop complaining and do something useful." That's where the money's at.
