    I mean, their stated goal is actually to devalue the dollar so exports are more attractive. Of course, that also means importing becomes more expensive, and China makes everything, so there’s no way people are going to be happy about that.

      Exports… Export fucking what!? Do people actually think any company that actually manufactures things in America are going to lower their prices?! Making things in America is expensive and won’t be cheap enough soon enough to pivot. Nearly all of our raw materials come from outside the country. And once the US dollar crashes making anything in America will cost more than any other product on the market regardless.
