Watch things in the US grind to a halt when you can't maintain them with cheap parts from China.

Yep. We ship in little bits and bobs from China constantly to keep our enormous manufacturing center running here in the USA. This is going to be horrible for us.

There are a few channels on YouTube where someone's tasked with fixing a laptop or some small electronic thing. They pull it open, find some tiny little circuit that won't go, dissolve the solder, and put a new tiny little circuit in to save a perfectly good device from the landfill.

I hope they can still afford their tiny little circuits and tiny little solder dissolving things with more expensive shipping.
