  • Young men have problems in their lives, like everyone else does, maybe less, maybe more than other groups in society but that does not matter because for them it’s the most vivid problems. He talks to specifically them and their problems.

    I don’t know how the media in your country sounds*, but here every time there is an issue discussed it tends to be: women, minorites, whatever have a problem, men are the problem.

    If the mainstream does not talk about young men’s issues, you will hand over the attention of young men to someone who does.

    *In a news article, or a political speech try switching the word man/woman black/white immigrant etc for their opposite. Some of them sound absolutely absurd when you do.







  • Running cost vs what you can charge for the output product is more important than the one time cost of setting it up.

    Very simplified: The demand for domestic steel will go up, production of domestic steel will go up, demand for domestic iron will go up, the cheap stuff is already being mined so more expensive to extract deposits will be used.

    I don’t think the tariffs are primarily meant to make it cheaper to manufacture in the US. They are to be used as leverage in negotiations.

    Eg Canada wants to trade. They can and probably will trade a lot more with Europe, but Europe have quite a lot of laws and regulations, and it can’t make up for the entire the US market. Negotiating with China is going to be about equally unpleasant as negotiating with MAGA US. Both options also requires shipping over an ocean.

    Remains to be seen how angry he has made the populations of the rest of the western world (not know angry he has made you and me)
