Media dumps

Apt analogy, even down to the jingoistic populism.
I’ll say nothing more, though, as rubberduck makes a good point: the value of our opinions will only go down if we continue off topic on the tariffs and shit and it’s not why we’re members of this forum.

Gimme a break. We got people here who can’t figure out how to change their transmission fluid and others who think they’re world macroeconomics experts. Nobody believes anything they say. The more they say, the more their credibility sinks. Just wasted bytes on the server.

I thought I was agreeing with you?

How do you know what we do for a living?

Hey the macroeconomics degree I got at the bottom of a cracker jack box sits proudly next to my three legged race participation trophy! Certainly more useful than this masters in cybersecurity I went into serious debt for.

I do find it rich that other countries are allowed to tariff the US for decades but will scream to the heavens when someone threatens to reciprocate. Not taking a side but it is interesting to see. If it's important for say Canada to protect important domestic industries then it should also be important for the US. I watched manufacturing get outsourced all around me where I grew up and it broke my heart. I had to move far away and get into the information economy because apparently we aren't supposed to make physical things in this country anymore. Not sure who made that decision but it certainly wasn't the people I grew up with.

The board of directors of the corporations decided that they could make more profits by moving manufacturing overseas. Or to Mexico. Labor is cheaper and lax environmental rules.
