In 2003, the United States imposed tariffs on imported steel. The goal was to protect American manufacturers. But a strange thing happened: the price of the toaster increased.
Why? Because American appliance manufacturers, who used imported steel, had to pay more for the raw material. Increases that were passed on to consumers. A tariff designed to “save jobs” in one industry… caused them to lose jobs in another. According to the Peterson Institute, in 2003, 3,500 jobs were saved in the steel industry… but 200,000 were lost in the industry that depended on that steel.
To me sounds like a good summary ...
What about permissionless, censorship ... :-)
Today goes like this ...
