@KaiserKitty i think the idea is to try and get companies to come back here, but also to put pressure on other nations to reduce their tariffs on us. if they don't want to reduce their tariffs on us, then ideally we can lower tax rates. i won't pretend to know all the ins and outs of all of it because i really don't, but if it is going to make things more sustainable in the long run for the average dude here i'm fine biting the bullet for a little bit while things get turbulent.

like it's gonna' suck ass if i have to pay more for a switch 2 but if that ends up with prices for other stuff like more domestic goods going down by a lot then i'd say that's a good trade off. only IF that's the case, though. i know a lot of other things have to come together to make the cost of living less expensive.

we'll really just have to wait and see, not like any of us can do shit about it so let's just hope it all turns out well.
