no object take on tariffs and trump admin beyond as predicted seems like constant fumbling but unprovable meta take: seems like the economy / US debt / perceived global power were all fake and due for a reset (un)intentionally bringing it about ourselves is probably less painful than running into an external breaking point

- impose tariffs that lead to massive inflation - print print print to offset and pay off our debt with cheap cash - re-shore some critical capabilities like chip manufacturing - pendulum swings back, globalists come back into power, renegotiate trade deals on better terms - bank on being the reserve currency and seemingly unstoppable tech industry to backstop us through it

My major problem with this is that outside of a few intellectuals it feels highly unpopular. You need the people to buy in to get the momentum to “re-build” (ex every corporation ever). It would be fine if they were to actually communicate wtf is happening rather than the cowboy governance.
