I wonder who will flinch first. I highly doubt domestic manufacturing can scale up fast enough to meet demand but It'd be fun to be proven wrong.

You're assuming domestic manufacturing will scale up... tariffing the raw inputs to manufacturing seems unlikely to do this.

		also, the tariffs have changed very rapidly for a bit now, so you can't really make multi year investments based on them

I have yet to see any compelling argument for the expected source of labor for the scale-up in manufacturing. We're going the other way and reducing our labor force.

In a country where people were ready to riot when service was slow at Chili's in the summer of '20, policy aimed at reducing restaurant employment seems risky.
