<p>China couldn't even allocate resources to major medical problems like COVID-19. All sinovax types are significantly less effective than the western counterparts. And the sinovax therapies were a lot less sophisticated (no mRNA) because they couldn't swiftly allocate capital like the free market can. Yes, this is including the "sinovax is more well tuned to Asians" lie.</p>

<p>> I can say that we absolutely pay tariffs to the US government in place of our customers who should be paying it<p>To be ultra pedantic, you're paying American import tariffs to the American shipping carrier or American broker not CBP itself.<p>> refunds for it like Americans supposedly did<p>No one's getting those refunds, if they do get a portion back and not at the rate at which they increased prices on American consumers.<p>But more to your point, you can certainly pay American import tariffs on behalf of Americans, but your response is to raise prices on American consumers commensurate to the tariffs you're paying. Your margins are necessarily lower to sell to Americans, so you must raise prices for American consumers.<p>If your margins were high enough that you can absorb American import tariffs, then you're lucky the market hadn't provided a relevant market substitute.</p>

<p>> I don’t know what you’re saying<p>And that's the problem. It doesn't get much more simple than "Canadians pay Canadian import taxes" and "Americans pay American import taxes".

<p>Your comment is nonsense.<p>Canadian pharmacies pay Canadian tariffs. Americans pay American tariffs. American importers are no longer exempted from paying American tariffs applied by the US government for goods de minimis goods they import from Canada.<p>This post is about American importers no longer having exemption on tariffs they would have otherwise paid to the US government.<p>At no point has Canadian pharmacies ever paid American tariffs. This is fiction you invented.</p>

<p>There is no revelation. The authors are intentionally misleading you by comparing 2 different metrics to pretend their formula is meaningfully different than what BLS provides.<p>"Headline" unemployment rate is U-3 unemployment. If they compared "TRU" to it's analogous match U-6 the graph would be less striking as it's a 1:1 match.</p>

<p>No. The problem is crap states with uneducated populace. The "small government" argument falls apart quicker than the ultra libertarian arguments.<p>Or actually you're right I should as an American citizen have to be versed in all the random arcane laws each individual state..no. Each individual COUNTY has instead of a common shared American values. God forbid someone play dominoes on Sunday in Alabama.<p>The problem is the fragmented states where they can hide their corruption.</p>
