Yes, don't take the criticism! Double down! Oh what's that? 200% tarrifs against EU spirits??

I got options against DJT dammit, this could pay big.

Fucking idiot.

Even if manufacturers brought jobs back from overseas, who the fuck is going to do them? We already have a labor shortage coming as the boomers are hitting peak retirement and the commander in queef won't let anyone in without money.

Let's not forget the very real fact that exports are a major part of demand. Imports are a big part of supply. It's econ 101. Tarrifs disrupt both. It's... Not a good idea, ever.

It isn't rocket science. Its so dull and dumb it was literally the background to Ben Stein's "Anyone... Anyone...?" Bit from Ferris Bullers Day Off.

How is a "labor shortage" a bad thing? You can ask for more pay if there's not many people who could do the job.

Labor shortage is just code speak for we don't want to train people or pay the appropriate wage.
