We're not a service economy or only a service economy.

We're still a manufacturing powerhouse.

We have been and never went away.

The difference is that we shifted from low-wage stuff, the peasant labor that you're talking about, to high-end stuff like building airplanes, computer parts, things like that.

I would rather have a high-end manufacturing industry than a low-end manufacturing industry.

What I want to do is maximize people being able to make free choices and not have top-down command economies.

So I am fine with you, if you find a better deal, I'm fine with you taking that deal.

Again, we'll carve out slave labor and things like that.

But in terms of just being able to have a competitive economy, be as competitive as you like.

No.

Okay.

Yeah.

Look, I'm on Team Consumer.

If you can get a cheaper thing, go for it.

Why don't we just do that?

Do you think the country would be better if instead of the Commerce Clause, all the states could enact tariffs?

Do you think we'd be more economically viable?

No.

Okay, there you are.

Like, I don't think that that would benefit.
