YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAre tariffs bringing jobs back — or blowing up the economy?
Rick Wilson breaks down why trade wars don’t work, how supply chains actually function, and why consumers always end up paying the price. From empty ports to rising prices, this isn’t economic theory — it’s basic math.
Tariffs don’t magically rebuild American manufacturing. They disrupt inventory cycles, spike costs, and hit working families first. Rick explains the historical failures, the automation myth, and why “bringing factories back” isn’t as simple as it sounds.
If you care about inflation, trade policy, and what’s really driving prices higher — this is the conversation.
