But it's only a lever to behavior changes if it's possible for domestic supply chains to compete with the costs global + tariff supply chains. My understanding is it's pretty much unfathomable for US manufacturing to compete on even with eye-watering tariffs on any reasonable timeline, let alone the handful of years (I suspect) the local companies will expect tariffs to continue. So I expect it's just lever for government revenue and citizen pain. The past 40 years or so of neoliberalism has effectively and intentionally dismantled domestic manufacturing.
