    Your idea leads to tariff wars where other countries implement your ideas.

    It didn't end well.

    Five years after the passage of the tariff, American trading partners had raised their own tariffs by a significant degree. France raised its tariffs on automobiles from 45% to 100%, Spain raised tariffs on American goods by 40%, and Germany and Italy raised tariffs on wheat. This customs war is often cited as one of the main causes of the Great Depression.

    I don't use the goddam Internet because I knew when it first started that it would be monetized and tell all my secrets and rob me of my powers so that's why I never use the Internet and stuff.
