This whole line of reasoning is so similar to consumers picking up chicken breast in a grocery store and not realizing that it comes from chickens somehow.
The US manufacturing base is extremely broad, deep, and strong. The onus is on you to try to prove otherwise.

Is it revolutionary to order from a screen rather than calling a restaurant for delivery? I don’t think so.

Umm this is a solved problem. Believe it or not gold has been used as currency for thousands of years.

It’s quite clear by the preponderance of the evidence piling up that these actions are not legal.
The cost of defending all of the employment actions that result from this will easily eclipse the “savings” presented.

This is categorically false. 70% of our debt is held by US entities.

Netflix cancels after billing you for two years. Kagi doesn’t bill you if you don’t use the product that month. Do you understand those are not the same?

I bought a smartphone. I was shocked at the poor value proposition. Very expensive and the charge wouldn’t even last a day!!!
