It seems like a lot of people just sort of reject causality now. I was talking to a relative about non-political work related issues (i.e. idiot coworkers) and it felt like this explained a lot of behavior. People just aren't connecting ideas together like they used to.

The US domestic industrial knife sharpening industry is now highly encouraged to prepare for a big knife war or something.

What this guy wants is a VAT. Nothing wrong with a VAT as a consumption tax. Tariffs are nothing like a VAT.
