In defense of economic protectionism....

At least tell me you like Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins and RHCP?
PJ is fine. Smashing Pumpkins are fine. RHCP have a certain time and place. I probably won’t change the station if they came on though, to be honest, the last time I heard PJ was in a dentists office.

Grunge killed hair metal which allowed better metal to be made. But I went from metal to rock to “festival”/jam bands to hip hop and outlaw country and whatever the hell else I listen to these days.
 

Is what is considered "free trade" these days an actual good policy or are we hampering our own economic prosperity to the advantage of our enemies?...one glaring example in particular.


An excellent thread on some of the negative effects of being the world reserve currency. It ties directly into a lot of the economic issues you were asking about.
