I don't care too much about retaliatory tariffs to be honest. We're the ones paying for those anyway.
We shall continue boycotting to send them the middle finger
The point of the tariffs is that we don't pay them because we don't buy those products. It makes it more economical to boycott, so more people do it, and profit driven companies will also do it.
I guess technically? It makes boycotting more economically "sensible" but just because it makes it less economical to not boycott. It doesn't really benefit the people boycotting, it just penalizes those that for some reason don't.
If I could just pick and choose, I be down for keeping some targeted retaliatory tariffs up because I see the value in forcing the hand of people that would be otherwise indifferent (or worse) but most of the damage we've been doing to the US is not really tariff driven, e.g. booze, travel, groceries.
Frankly, considering what the US has said they wanted to do to us, I’m ok with making goods from there more expensive for people who don’t want to boycott. I’m ok with any purchases made from US companies costing more even if I find myself doing it for one reason or another, too, no matter how legitimate or innocent I personally think my reasons are.
Fair. I'd say me too. If anything, it helps me making sure that if I don't boycott on a purchase either intentionally or by mistake, at least there will be an extra tax collection for it.
