Do you want the government to decide that for you, or should the individual decide what they need/want for themselves?

I do want them to keep absolute and utter disposable and toxic crap off the market and I want them to prevent dumping of products to undercut domestic producers.

The government already has its hand on thousands of levers that control our lives. I agree with many and disagree with some. That's life in a republic.

The new Republican import taxes aren’t keeping “absolute and utter disposable crap off the market.”

But they aren't doing that. Instead they are enforcing "reciprocal" tariffs which are calculated in such a fashion as to hold equal smaller and poorer countries buying less of our shit and actually tariffing ours.
