Brace yourselves, folks; tariffs are back in style like a pair of neon leg warmers. In a recent media appearance, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick dropped a bombshell: President Trump’s tariffs aren’t just a passing fad—they’re here to stay, and they come with some unexpected side effects.
Imagine an army of *millions* of workers enthusiastically screwing tiny bits into iPhones. That’s what Lutnick wants us to envision. But hold on to that mental image—because he also admitted that automation is part of the package. So, more manufacturing doesn’t necessarily mean a flock of job-seeking humans will arise from their couches to work in shiny factories. Nope! Instead, we may just see robots flexing their mechanical muscles while we watch Netflix in peace, possibly bemused by the sheer irony of it all.
Let’s dig deeper into what this means for the tech industry and our wallets. As tariffs change the game, are we trading a few bucks for a parade of jobs—or just handing over our cash to the robots?
Get ready because the screws have never been tighter in the tech world!
