    It’s actually getting kind of hard to think of new, stupider ways to ruin the economy and raise the cost of living. Parody is getting close to being indistinguishable from reality.

    • Blanket tariffs for goods with low domestic production? Done.
    • Imprisoning laborers who do domestic farming? Yes.
    • Deporting legal, tax-paying noncitizens? Yep.
    • Pissing off citizens of countries that contribute significantly to local tourism? Indeed.
    • Asking potential tourists to pay extra for the privilege of visiting a to-be-sold-for-industrial-logging park? Why not.
    • Cutting healthcare and replacing it with a bonus for the 0.001%? Might as well!

      • Scare away all the best and brightest of the entire world that you brought to your country to give the competitive edge in science, engineering and tech.

      • Make the business climate so uncertain that nobody wants to invest anything in research or build new facilities, except in moving their facilities out of the country
