Appreciation post for the retired teacher who made me rethink tariffs

Had breakfast at the diner on Main Street yesterday and this old history teacher spent 15 minutes explaining how Trump's trade policies actually helped small manufacturers in Ohio, and now I'm not so sure my whole 'tariffs are always bad' take was right - anyone else have a conversation that flipped their view on something?

Totally mispronounced "tariff" for like three years so I just avoid the word now.

Saying you avoided a word for three years because you mispronounced it is a little extreme, @tyler176. I once said "chipotle" wrong for like a year before someone finally corrected me at a party. But hey, at least now you know it's "tare-iff" and not "turr-iff" or whatever you were doing.
