> “hi there North American IP, I know how much you like extra hassle hence the love of effectively paying for tarriffs, here, have a little extra work on me!”

I'm assuming you're outside the US based on having this idea.

You might as well just say "I'm mad at your country for the tariffs, so here's an extra wait." From the fact you feel the urge to spite people in a tariffing country like this, it's clear the tariffs have had some negative effect on you, which goes against your narrative that they're "effectively paid for" by those in the tariffing country who voted for it.

You have a some incorrect assumptions there. Yes, I'm outside the US, though I can't say I've experienced any issues at all that can be attributed to the continuing little tariff spat. I have heard of US citizens either complaining about cost raising because of them, or if not complaining then acknowledging them as something they consider a necessary pain. There are a fair few things I'm mad about, some of which do stem from the current administration over there, but this certainly isn't one of them. In fact I'm currently amused by it and the urge to mildly irritate those state side is in order to extend that amusement a touch.

I see, you're supposedly just amused by annoying people... that certainly makes you look better, I can see now why I was downvoted. /s

If you think your nagware is going to get back at US citizens for completely unrelated policies you're mad about, then maybe you should list those policies in your message instead of bringing up tariffs? That seems like it would be more productive to your goals, and less likely to make it look like you're salty and/or making a faulty argument regarding tariffs.
