    This implies that local availability of competitive products exists, which for the vast majority of things in the US is not the case. So many of our goods are made overseas and imported.

    Tariffs are going to raise consumer expenses till one of two things happens: Local production ramps up and provides local goods (at likely a similar or higher price because our wages are higher than overseas) or a political change occurs that results in the removal of the tariffs.

  • Schooling for programming isn’t super necessary. Programming, at it’s core, is not super difficult. It’s effectively learning how to structure fundamental logic in a way to do what you want and then figure how to do that with the programming language you are using. There are various free resources online to get started.

    Once you’ve learned some fundamentals, you can start some random practice project and figure out how to expand it to challenge yourself and learn from practice.

    A lot of programming is also experience driven. As you code, you learn better approaches, new capabilities within your programming language, best practices, etc. Looking back at code from when I was first starting, I often find multiple potential improvements in the way I did it at the time.
