        Side note, why do people seem to struggle so much with the spelling of the word “tariff”? We’ve seen it so many times yet so many people get it wrong.

          Hmm

          Maybe easy to pronounce as “tear riff“ which would lend itself to the double R

          Not really a side note, this is just the tip of the “American stupidity and overconfidence that got us here” iceberg.
