      Yeah, but if you suffocate efficiency out of the markets and force America to build stuff that other countries used to build for us very cheaply, you will create factory jobs. For every 20 jobs lost from the efficient economy that we destroyed with tariffs, we create one factory job. Everybody knows the value conversion between a factory job and a job in an efficient economy is 1:1000, so 1:20 is a huge win.

      I can't wait for the documentaries following factory workers through a day in their lives, so we can all see the magic we've created. It will go down in history as America's single greatest accomplishment.

      I would like to see factory jobs on all of our currency going forward. And put factory jobs on our flag.

          I think it's important to support this initiative, so I'm going to be visiting a factor over the weekend, and supporting factory workers. I love cheesecake, so it's a win-win.

            Sounds like a good plan. Maybe I'll check out where they make Buffalo Wings.

                    That's a relief. Any word on whether tariffs raise prices?

                      His mistake. He meant sheriffs, not tariffs.

                        They already have. We got a quote on a follow spot for the high school. It was $3500 plus a $750 tariff reclamation fee.

                          The irony is that the government's response to this private business's actions is a hostile and political act.

                            When Bezos allegedly bent the knee to Trump before the election, he was clear that he wanted WaPo editorials to support free markets. Being anti-tariff is on-brand, and principled, and should probably earn him some credit from those who think he was just supplicating before Trump.

                              To be fair, Amazon was planning on labeling the field on the screen

                              "Extra Trump tariff fees that are sooooo like dumb: $5.99"

                                I have no problem with the public knowing the cost of what they buy. It's a good thing.

                                  They should troll the administration by saying next to the tariff line ‘you can get this reimbursed by China. Contact the white house switchboard to find out how’.
