“The community as a whole cannot hope to gain by making artificially scarce [through tariff protection] what the country wants.”
~ John Maynard Keynes, 1910, in a speech to the Cambridge Union

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
