So, people are accepting fewer, apparently better employment offers, manufacturing is being onshored, but (due to lower supply of foreign slave labor and exploitable US workers) profits are down, and inflation is up.
Since unemplyoment is low, the Fed mandate seems pretty clear at this point. Interest rates should go up. The market will tank for a few years because inflation and paying workers screws with profits, then bounce back (in real terms) once corporate debt, etc unwinds, and productivity starts to rise again.
Rigid and weak corporations will be displaced by startups and existing companies that are able to adapt/innovate.
It's weird to me that Fox News's staunchly anti-China, pro-US manufacturing Fox News's viewership is so bent out of shape.
Aren't we experiencing exactly the effect Trump's tariffs were supposed to achieve?
In reality, there is a case for tariffs on China that has nothing to do with trade deficits. Biden can't just end them because it will make him look soft and let them off the hook for IP theft and other abuses. Really the president should not have this authority at all, Congress should be doing it.
