Someone is forcing you to buy a product? In what world? I don't follow.
Nobody buys a product they don't get value from.
Monopolies don't exist in free markets. They can only exists due to government. Arguing for more government intervention in trade and this nonsense will form new monopolies as only they will be
Currently, in the global marketplace I can go to China(or Alibaba), make connections, have something manufactured, and sell it on Amazon.
If I make a product people want at a price that is fair, they will buy it.
This cannot happen with 140% tariffs, asost margins are nowhere near this for small sellers. All they will happen is encourage larger players with large legal and trade teams, linguistic translators to go in and fill the void by skirting rules, moving to Cambodia, etc.. the government just forced the small American business to fail and allowed a new monopoly to fill the void
