@landley yes. definitely. the whole long-term thought exercise here is conceding the probably false point MAGA-ists pretend to believe (that all this mayhem will lead to long-term gain) and showing that what's been done is still dumb. in reality, the likelihood of long-term gain from this is low, and hysteresis/scarring is yet another reason it is unlikely and likely to deflect downward our long-term path, even relative to more autarkic policy if it had been sanely implemented.
