    Well the part about the neighbors not how tariffs work is believable. I have lost count of how many people just think china had to send us money directly to us.

      And it’s been part of the conversation for the better party of a decade. There’s zero excuse for the level of ignorance of some people.

        Being flooded with an unending tide of conflicting and emotionally draining information and/or misinformation will do that to someone.

        Information overload will either make you withdraw entirely or retreat to your favourite echo chamber.
