Money from tarrifs paid by American companies, goes to the U.S. Department of Treasury making to the general affairs budget. Thats the theory.

@elexia @selzero Long time ago in the past century we then kids used paper cups (real tight carton, zero plastic) to boil water and tea in them on the small bonfire. Cups were attached to some freshly found stick by two pieces of thread to allow us keep their bottoms precisely at the right flame. 40 such cups weighted less than hefty pot you would use otherwise for your two day mountain trip.

@solarpapst "saves farmers $25bn/y" will certainly be read "robs corporations to the amount $25bn/y" and acted on accordingly to the threat. From the lobbyists and politicians PoV $25bn/y tells that there is at least $1bn bribes to take annually.
