I agree that tariffs aren't good econ policy. What are your views on grocery "price gouging"? Rent controls?

Tariffs are worse, but, all three aren't great.

Depends on implementation but in general we already don't have a free market, and if we did the American economy would collapse with the destruction of the entire farming sector and possibly the oil and gas sector, so I don't dismiss price controls on groceries or rent controls out of hand.

Singapore has nationalized housing and is extraordinarily prosperous. Perhaps rent control isn't a good measure and we should simply do that instead.
