This isn't on Society: the is massively unpopular, was well-foretold, repeatedly, and the argument for ignoring it always relied on excuse-making.
We will all reap what a few sowed through their own obstinate choice, and it goes beyond a one off issue with understanding tariffs.
Is this just some ignorance we have to relearn as a group?
No, plenty of smart people, right here, right now, talked themselves into it, and from here, they'll never, ever, admit they were wrong on it. Even though they, daily, reap the benefits of free markets and extol the benefits of them. We'll just always have insufficiently tried relying on ourselves.
The site we're commenting on, the CEO retweeted some long fact-free nonsense on the subject, that when you're done reading it 10 minutes later, amounts to "juche will make us more powerful than ever before, and btw, the elites will be owned in this existential battle. dig in for war!!!" Sickening lack of self-awareness.
The elites who bray about "elites" are nihilist and a destructive force, necessarily, and always have been.
