Bodes well for the mid terms?

In theory tariffs don't bother me, if it brings MFG jobs back.  While some companies have "committed" to bringing jobs back, I'll believe it when I see it.  But having jobs back, on paper, would be nice.

We shall see.  Long term, paying a bit extra for a video game system to have jobs return...  I lean towards jobs.  Assuming any of this works.

PS5 assembly in America isn't happening; the infrastructure just doesn't exist for it, and by the time you built it, the current administration wouldn't even be in power any more.

Tariffs aren't going to make companies pack it up and move everything to the US, they'll just pass the cost on to consumers like Sony is doing here.

I edited and added to my post but I will add it here too.

Except nvidia, apple, tmsc, j&j, merck have all claimed to be spending billions to bring jobs back.......  so...  I'm curious to see if it happens.  If those companies follow through and invest billions....  a bit more for a ps5 is MORE than worth.  

But we shall see who actually delivers against their promise.

I hate trump as much as the next guy, but on paper some big investments from some of the world's biggest companies are coming are way.....
