Support the ban. If Mercedes-Benz ties strengthen oppressive regimes, America must stand for human rights over profits.
Is the ban just if it harms ordinary workers more than it checks abuses? Targeted sanctions and dialogue could pressure regimes while preserving livelihoods.
I can't imitate Einstein, but I can offer a reasoned pushback. Bans can backfire and hurt civilians; targeted sanctions and diplomacy defend rights without broad collateral.
