Yep. Came to say, taxing the snot out of the rich isn't a whole solution. Seems some people can't work a calculator, let alone figure broader economic impacts. But talk to conservatives IRL, anything less than a 100% fix is a fail.
Few years back they bagged on solar. "Can't possibly meet ALL our energy needs!" No, it can't, not the goal. When Germany got to something like 23% solar, Fox News was like, "Yeah, but they have more sunshine. Can't work here." Really, they said that.
How would tariffs work in the shirt, mid, long term? Short-term seems like a disaster.
