Comment on How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea?
nous@programming.dev 13 hours agoTrump is supposed to be in office for only 4 years, at best,
That assumes America is still a democracy in 4 years. We are only a few months in and it is already not looking great.

and you think that’s an argument to spin up new factories? not really.
If the US collapses into complete fascism, everyone inside is either going to be cut off from the global market. for a foreign company, spinning up factories in the US, when, in four years, they might literally get those investments yeeted from them is stupid. and that’s really the best case.

I never argued that. Only pointing out its decent into fascism. All bets are off at that point as to what will happen to its industries.
