Hot take: Will we need tariffs to protect domestic AI, robotics & 3D printing as they take over production?

I don’t like Trump and I don’t like his reform, but if they pass, I think it’s important to stay optimistic

I will say that don’t think it’s totally fair to compare today with the great depression. Tech has grown in ways that will help our domestic production. Robotics, AI, 3D-printing, quantum (eventually). I feel like we’re at that point where that transition is happening now

Traditionally local manufacturing always had higher labor costs…. but with AI/robotics it could make production more reliable + cheaper…

If advanced tech starts to produce goods here, tariffs would help protect those industries during their transition in the US. That’s my only way to justify any intention to do so
