    Well the part about the neighbors not how tariffs work is believable. I have lost count of how many people just think china had to send us money directly to us.

      And it’s been part of the conversation for the better party of a decade. There’s zero excuse for the level of ignorance of some people.

        Yeah, but it’s seemingly what donvict believes about tariffs. Also, donvict seems to think that “trade deficit” means China owes us something.

        Being flooded with an unending tide of conflicting and emotionally draining information and/or misinformation will do that to someone.

        Information overload will either make you withdraw entirely or retreat to your favourite echo chamber.
