tariff taxes went away as free trade grew, and governments implemented income taxes to replace the lost revenue
adding tariff taxes back on top of income tax is the biggest tax hike in American history

With that big a fiscal deficit and trillions of dollars worth of treasury securities being held in forex reserves around the world if Trump still managed to turn the US into an autarky, he'd be the most based ruler in the history of the human civilization

tbh two-thirds of the U.S. national debt held is owned by things like domestic Pension Funds and Burgers and the government itself
Chingchong land holding treasuries does nothing for them except a stable investment vehicle because anything they could do to damage the US would be setting their money on fire

There really should be an obesity tax. Just unironically.

Obesity tax is absolutely necessary for nationalized healthcare.
Smokers at least killed themselves fast enough to be a net positive.
Without extreme fatshaming the Japanese healthcare system would have collapsed the country in 2008.

Not even a political question, everyone should support taxing fatties as they cost more and ruin quality of life (I have to see them)

cheese and peanut butter have high calorie density but also high satiety
you will feel fuller longer on 500 calories of that stuff than 500 calories of bread or skittles
people worry about calorie density when they should be worrying about where those calories come from

Fruits, vegetables, dairy, eggs, some meat. Avoid oils as best as you can. Kept people skinny all those previous centuries. Just copy the old people's heavy eating.
They don't want you to know but technically ultraprocessed foods aren't going to automatically make you fatter but they exist to maximize sales which means created in a lab to maximize your desire to eat more of it without it being declared an addictive illegal substance.

If you take eggs and whip them, cook up some ground turkey, cook bacon and crumble it, chop up some mushrooms, and add heavy dairy cream, add salt for taste, then mix it all together and bake it, this meets the definition of being an ultra-processed food as much as a Snickers bar. It's the same whether you cook them yourself or buy them pre-made.
The chemical that makes you feel like you want more of it is the sugar. Your insulin levels spike and you get hungry faster than if you had eaten something with a 50-50 mass ratio of proteins and fats. You'll stay fuller longer if you eat 500cal of fat and protein than if you eat 500cal of M&Ms.
Oils aren't bad on their own, you just have to make sure you include them in your calorie counting of you're conscious that way. Most people just use them for cooking anyway. Where they fail is deep frying potatoes because you're loading up on the carbs again.
Bodybuilders have two diets, one for bulking which is a lot of carbs, and one for cutting which has no carbs. They've been doing this forever and hollywood turns it into fad diets which makes people skeptical of it.

17 IQ move
If you go back exclusively to tariffs, then you absolutely force yourself back to Age of Sail economics in the 21st Century.
Forms of government and forms of economics typically evolve hand-in-hand, and things have changed quite a bit from then.
This could very well be like trying to mix herbivore teeth with a carnivore digestive system, or the other way around.

There have been like 15,000 proposed amendments since the country was founded, only 33 made it to the states with 27 ratified. There's never really been a time we were all unified overall, it's always been pretty specific issues.
