Tell me how telling people their taxes are going to go up $3000 is better than explaining that the tariffs will cause their yearly goods expenses to go up by the same.
This article is for the layman, not someone who understands tariffs. And instead of explaining that, it says "it's basically the same thing as your taxes going up!"
Calling it a "tax increase" when it's not is kind of infuriating because it just muddies the conversation. Comparing it to a tax increase is fine but saying it's "effectively" one is worse than useless - it either confuses people, gives them the wrong idea, or gives them an easy out to say it's bullshit.
I read the whole thing and nowhere does it defend that title. This game/movie does NOT make the climate apocalypse look good, why the hell did they write that?
