But I want to steel man this argument, okay? The idea is that all our manufacturing has gone to these different places. We want to bring it back. If we make it too expensive to buy from there, eventually someone will build here. It's the idea.

Now, we've talked about the Jones Act and how that stuff can end up backfiring and American consumers end up paying more for like a less quality product where they build up. But not even that. So if you are a person with a bunch of money and you're thinking, okay, well, I guess I'll build this factory. What you have to think about is in longer term cycles, more than a couple of years.

So you're like, okay, if I'm going to build this, then in four years or whatever, these tariffs better still be around because if they go away or they change, then I'm left with this unprofitable American factory that I spent all my money on. And then everyone's back to buying stuff from China for cheaper. Yeah.

So the tariffs have to be truly ironclad and rock solid and long-term and built with that in mind. Now, what we've seen so far is so chaotic and so scatterbrained and so up and down. And so it makes it impossible for any businessman to realistically get the funding, the agreement, the board approval to be like, all right, well, I'm going to take the risk and I'm going to build this in America.

That's even if this would work. Now, there's other many, many

And this is applied to every good, not just merchandise, every good from nearly every country at the exact same time and with no prior even leak of what the numbers would be. Again, I've been watching this very closely up to this day. As of last night, the market was in panic because they don't know what he's going to announce.

He comes out and all of these numbers hit at once and the market was up today and then this got announced and it tanked. I mean, just fucking plummeted. You guys are doing terrible in the stock market competition. Yeah, we are. And you're doing fine? I'm doing okay, but I'm down. Everyone's down from this. This type of unreliability is one of the worst. I don't agree with tariffs in general.

I think there's a long history. Again, if you go back to the 1920s, into the great 1930s and the Great Depression, they had the Smoot-Hawley tariff act at the exact same time. where they thought it would bring prosperity. It didn't. It also didn't last very long because people hated it so much they had to get rid of it, which is exactly what people who are looking at this are thinking.
