My hope: increased costs make people demand domestic manufacturing, companies and governments actually listen and decide import costs aren't worth it and move all manufacturing back inside their own borders.
Politicians like to bullshit about "job creation" all day, but this, massively expanding domestic manufacturing capabilities, would create more jobs than any program put out since WWII.
Luckily the internet exists and allows you to see present day conditions without going to the place yourself!

Fuck cars.
Still illegal in many places in the US. I just happen to live in a state that is legal.
Since I'm close to a state border, I only need to drive about 20 minutes to be somewhere it's illegal again.
And if you live in an "at will" state, they can just fire you even if it's legal.
Sidenote: "at will" employment is the biggest sack of bullshit that employers convinced people is totally normal.
Im hopeful that the US, EU, and UK legalize it within the next few years. I'm realistic about the chances, I know how the older generations of politicians are, but I still cross my fingers.
Oh shit!
Damn, I'd pull that thing so hard I might completely snap it off and derail the ~~train.~~ trolley (I can brain)

Boss: "can you explain why your random drug test came back positive for thc?"
Me: "yeah, it's legal and I have a life outside of work. Sorry if you can't relate, but my personal time is just that. Personal."
This exchange did not go well from there, but guess who got fired for something first. (hint: not me)
I'm going out with a girl after work and we're gonna play in the park.
(It's my wife and I'll be riding my bike while she tries to get used to inline skates again. We're in our 30s.)
But for real I miss being able to just..... Enjoy a playground. Go throw rocks at the creek with friends. Have sword battles with sticks we found while walking by the trees.
But if I do that, people call the cops because some old guy is clearly confused and wandering around...
In the same vein, "Holy shit, that WORKED?"
*I didn't ask how close those buildings are, I said "I cast FIREBALL" *
-Megumin, if they played D&D
"But that still doesn't mean you'll get to play it"
Well then it doesn't exist.
And until I actually am staring at the introduction screens, it's vaporware.
Have we gone on long enough to see the endless wheel of "HALF LIFE 3?????" once again spin back around? I remember seeing a handful of these a year, every time valve did anything.
Expect nothing, and you can't be disappointed.
