The argument that increasing tarrifs to cause adaptation by local industry assumes all parties consider the tariffs PERMANENT (even if we ignore the immediate impoverishment from decline in trade, the clumsiness in the abruptness).
The problem is everyone by a functioning brain (including people on the traditional "right") by now realize that Trump is a bit deranged, erratic, & these moves are likely to be transitory. He could be booted out; the 4 year mortality of an unfit 78 y.o. is >20%.
Heavy investments take > 5 years, more than the political cycle & initially require more imports. Huge capital commitments require a bit of certainty.
Some products s.a. wine may take >10 years, olive oil >12 years.

The best way to accomplish goals is not through sheer willpower or grit, but through creating small habits and circumstances that make the goals inevitable.

The reason I write about independent-mindedness so much is not to convince those who aren't. I have no hope of that. I do it to remind the independent-minded, who often feel outnumbered (e.g. in high school or at big companies), that they're not alone.

Viewed as an asset, education has some attractive qualities. It naturally tends to compound. You can carry it with you easily. No one can steal or tax it. And unlike most assets, it makes life more interesting.
