@sulaco @disclosetv @Goalkeeper @BigDuck @special-boy there will never be either way.
even with tariffs, no one with more brain cells than an orange cat will invest in american manufacturing, because the absolute best case scenario is 4 years of trump and maybe the next guy will have some similar policy positions.
this would be a super expensive investment that'll take ~years~ of planning, engineering, dealing with government bureaucracy, and construction before even beginning to produce results.
realistically, in 4 or 8 years, democrats will be back in power. i don't wanna be the guy who has to explain to the investors that the $20 billion plant we started building in 2026 and is projected to be completed some time in 2029 will now be delayed by 2 years and cost $8 billion more to install newly mandated emissions equipment, and can now only ever run at a loss.
