:::As far as free trade, the only thing I am sure of is that nations that engage in unfair trade practices via government subsidies and/or intellectual property theft, can be punished via tarrifs. If I am not mistaken, that is what Trump did with China (at least in part). [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 21:55, February 3, 2023 (EST)

:::::I wanna pick up on that last sentence about free trade. There's not space here to divide it into discussion on both free trade and tariffs (other factors apply, sanctions, missile attacks on infrastructure, shipping, naval defense spending, price of crude oil and exchange rates, etc.) What I can do is hook you up with this guy, [https://www.youtube.com/@SeanFooGold/videos Sean Foo] who does a 12-15 minute update 3 or 4 times a week on YouTube. He's good cause he factors all the current economic news into a global macroeconomic picture, only I can't digest all of it cause I'm so immersed between the propaganda wars and the military situation. Perhaps you can monitor the source and bring to our attention here on MPR talk anything of earthshattering influence he brings up, which is bound to happen at any time in the next 2 or 3 months or first half of this year.
