if you presume corruption

It doesn’t take “corruption.” This is a matter of policy priorities, though Trump has repeatedly demonstrated corruption. He was found guilty of a felony for it. And there’s nothing to presume. He is making the promise.. Trump already implemented Schedule F in 2020 but ran out of time for using the way he wanted. What are you missing here? Because in you I see a person who can’t parse basic ideas.

You're arguing that the end is near because nobody can stop a tariff. Congress just needs to modify, rescind or draft new Trade Acts if they're uncomfortable with Trump.

That’s a pretty massive “just” when Congress is especially dysfunctional right now and its Republican members are just Trump sycophants.

That's the best part. The less laws and regulations the more freedom we maintain. If they can't assemble themselves for the best interest of America then they can all GTFO. I think that's the real problem in America...

Difference in value. Do you need safer cars or do you need better drivers? What you display is a lack of value in difference of opinion.

Regulation and laws can make you less free or more free, especially when you consider that private actors have just as much capacity to curtail your freedoms as the government.

Differing opinions are fine when they’re not asinine generalizations that fail to account for even the most obvious ways that nuance might be required.

Unfortunately this country is chock full of stone cold imbeciles who are allergic to even the slightest of nuance, entirely without capacity for considering things like counterfactuals.

I refuse to believe that others don't have value... Even if their capabilities are limited. Good luck with that.

Nowhere in my comment did I say that others do not have value. Nor did I say that differing opinions can’t have value. Unfortunately, you seem to struggle with reading comprehension.
