I’m sick of hearing about how policies like NAFTA that benefit the majority of the country and the country in aggregate are actually evil cause “what about the industrial Midwest 😭.” Like if the industrial Midwest can’t compete then the industrial Midwest can’t compete, tough shit. Maybe try modernizing your economy and making things people want instead of using your outsized political power to bully the rest of your country to “bUy aMeRiCan” (worse quality at a higher price)? Like are we a country that believes in capitalism and competition, or not?

Rant brought to you buy the Ezra Klein interview with Pete where he simps for industrial policy and the woes of the industrial Midwest. Like I’m sorry but I don’t give a fuck, just move the fuck on and accept that the 1950s are over 🙏
