I’ve seen less pretzel logic from flat earthers, yet you’re bringing it with religious zealotry over an objectively terrible tool inappropriate for the times. Of course the tariffs will be blamed: because they’re the root cause. Asshat Trump is obsessed with them because he saw someone else get one for their industry in the 80s. Now he wants his own, only bigger and dumber, being implemented by absolute amateurs who asked a LLM to implement a massively simplistic scheme based solely on goods trade differential, and based on internet domains regardless of having an actual trade economy. Ignoring the fact that we “export” a massive services and information technology industry to all of those places that operate at far higher margins than manufacturing marbles in Sri Lanka. And ignoring that 45% of our imports are raw materials. And ignoring that tariffs are a massive self-own tax increase on the people. And ignoring that we don’t really have a massive unemployment problem requiring all this manufacturing to move back. And ignoring that manufacturing won’t move back before companies run the clock out for a different admin. And ignoring how wildly unsuccessful they have been in the past when implemented broadly. It’s just tanking the market. Penalizing people with higher costs (inflation), and driving people in the middle to trend their support to other political factions none of us want in charge. But keep blindly supporting your new religion.
