Sadly tarrifs could actually be used to being back jobs to America in certain fields. Like chip manufacturing for example.

If only someone didn't completely defund something like that and then just do across the board tariffs on every single country.

No one is building a factory when the laws change based on who was the last person to talk to Trump.

    The chip act was only going to bring old chip manufacturing. The type that go in cars, appliances, and calculators. So yes better than nothing but the major chip manufacturers were never going to hand over their latest tech.

    You can't really create a modern chip manufacturing sector without laying out the older and simple chips sector first.

    Yeah, you are not making blue chips before doing the green and red chips first.
