Interesting look at how Trump's tariffs are affecting John Deere (gift link): https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/business/john-deere-tractor-sales-down-farmers-struggle.html?unlocked_article_code=1.jU8.zV_0.neuv1-IB4y2m&smid=url-share

the price of steel is up while farmers profits are way down

basically, a major manufacturer in the US is being gutted pretty hard and losing jobs

@clive I feel like every person in government should play SimCity or a game like that so they can see the long term affects of decisions.
