It works out for Dvorak.

The other problem with moving manufacturing due to tariffs is that tariffs can always be changed, whereas moving manufacturing is a longer term investment that can cost millions, if not billions when it comes to things like chip fabs. No one wants to make an investment like that, only to have their investment suddenly become worthless because some politician decided to change how the tariffs work.

Trump's idiotic and constant flip-flopping on these tariffs have completely destroyed any chance of them actually accomplishing anything (not that they really had a great chance of that in the first place, but anyway...), because no one is going to move a factory to the US when Trump can and will change his mind based upon a whim or whoever is whispering in his ear that moment.

Depending on what they are doing, it can be a form of sea-lioning.

To be fair to Kamala, she hasn't announced that she's running in 2028. Neither has AOC for that matter. This is just some pollster polling against some names that people might have heard of.

I remember being annoyed when PS2 suddenly was a gaming console and not a line of personal computers from IBM.

Yes, I know it's PS2 vs. PS/2 when written out, but no one ever says PS-slash-2 when speaking.

I don't think it's incompetence, exactly. If you're not going to pay for Photoshop (Lightroom, Audition, etc...), Adobe would rather you use a pirated Photoshop as opposed to learning something else. Because even a pirated version helps them keep their stranglehold on the market.

It's the same reason Microsoft doesn't really crack down on pirated versions of Windows.

It's not like people have a lot of choice. George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney are also neoliberals.
