This is a huge, huge part of it. Tariffs on high-tech electronic devices and tariffs on steel are different beasts.

We're rightfully appalled at companies that literally grind up employees - but we happily buy from companies in countries where that's just Tuesday.

That’s a good point.

I could maybe imagine supporting tariffs that were legitimately tied to these goals. For example, if there was a tariff against a particular industry in a particular country that would be dropped the moment that the country in question implemented some environmental regulation.

The danger is even if tariffs are implemented for good reasons, they still incentivize domestic firms to just become rent extractors.
