I really don’t see the issue -tariffs on U.S. imports just mean fewer chips sold in the U.S. and more available for the rest of the world, right?

It’s an issue for people in the US but at this point I am ok with it

Does that help people elsewhere specifically or are you just happy to see us have issues atp

If you do want to have a positive side to it, I guess it helps people learn that their choices and/or lack of action has consequences 👍

People don’t learn that from consequences. Is this your first time being human? They have to be taught that lesson the hard way, by having it explained to them until they internalize it. It can take decades.

In that case, I am happy for the people in the USA - they are in this process right now 👍
