I have, and that depends on whether you are concerned at all with where we externalize our costs to. We had it good while messing up a lot of other places.

Maybe that's fine, maybe its not, but its not as simple as trade makes everyone better off.

Then regulate those negative externalities. Huge progress has been made on that front over the years. This tariff approach is demolishing the whole bathroom full of people to get rid of the bathwater.
