Comment on Biden moves to crack down on Shein and Temu, slow shipments into US
catloaf@lemm.ee 6 days agoNeither the US nor China are truly free markets. They both play with taxes, tariffs, and subsides to affect commerce both international and domestic.

I love this libertarian obsession with “true free markets” as if there has ever been or ever will be a market with no nation-states or major conglomerates putting their fingers on the scale for their own self interests. What a world it must be to live in where one is so high on idealism that they somehow miss how incredibly fucking worthless even considering such a thing is when a child could point out that would never occur.

Yeah but the US is the one constantly jerking itself into a frenzy about “free markets”
