Picturing a version of reality where the UK copies the US by doing tariffs and tries to rebuild its manufacturing and industry with exactly the same tactics.
It fails miserably obviously but it would be really funny if not for the fact I have to live here.
The UK is much further progressed than the US towards reindustrializing since they’ve already impoverished their working class which is probably a prerequisite.
Unlike the US, which totally doesn't have an impoverished working class? Both countries have completely povertous working classes.
The US is on the path to be sure but the British are more impoverished. That’s not praise of the US, the British are more progressed.
The US has more extreme poverty but at that point it’s not even useful. It’s hard to put chronically homeless people with an array of health problems acquired from living outside to work in a factory.
The class of people capable of working in factories are more impoverished in the UK though.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't most of British isles natural resources already exploited after centuries?
That is why they need an impoverished working class. The children yearn for the factories.
There is still mining potential left. And Oil, Ferberite, the rest is mostly sand & gravel. Anglo American extracts potash in Yorkshire, I think. They could always mine coal, but like there are only 200+ coal miners left from the 690.000 in the 60s.
Maybe if you are trying to recreate 19th century factories.
I feel like there are things we could do, like invest in education for one, to make it work. But applying tariffs and doing fuck all else is just gonna tank our economy too.
This means he'll roll back some of the public utilities that were sold off to foreign investors and stop prostrating before tech investors aiming to turn the UK into a techno serf state right?
100%. He was a socialist all along he just had to lie to people for a bit. His dad was a toolmaker, he’s just like us.
his dad certainly made a tool
Me watching Trump take a sledgehammer to the US economy
UK imports 60% of its food, good luck with that.
Its not failing miserably if it made someone very powerful very rich (without stepping on too many other rich people's toes)
