Geez Oren, get a grip. I understand you want to argue with fellow elites about arcane economic concepts, but we’re in the middle of an authoritarian movement. How about some history about the economic performance of autocrats from the past? Or perhaps something modern day, say, Hungary? Is there an economy run by an authoritarian regime you’d like to hold up for us to emulate? I suspect not. Please, we all must speak up, and tell the truth. Oren, elites like you, who have a large platform, have a special responsibility to educate fellow citizens about what’s really at stake. Don cares not a whit about economic policy, tariffs included. For him, they’re a simple authoritarian tool to bring business to heel. Anyone notice how well it’s working? Please keep your eye on the ball.

Basic question for Oren:

If the US were to bring back mfg in a big way, WHERE WILL THE WORKERS COME FROM??
