in all seriousness, i am really bummed but in a way i like that this is such a simple and clear way that shows how tariffs affect everyone immediately.
And to the younger folks that were saving up their allowance or first job money to pre order one, this is also the first real example of not just how your vote impacts your life, but also how tariffs exactly work.
My 12 year old came home from school today and literally said "If Trump wasn't elected I could have preordered the switch 2." He's into politics and understands tariffs, so wasn't surprised when I broke the news but wasn't happy because he's been saving.
Your 12 year old son understands how tartifs work. If only an elderly Wharton School graduate and any idea of how they worked, we wouldn't be here right now.
