> Why stability? If the stable state is not working, flip it.

Because this is a weird talk where only extremes are talked about, that is popular when you have only two established parties and no system that enables more nuanced ideas.

> and they'll correct their strategic stances for the newer unstable order: Onshored supply chains,

In a decade or so... maybe.

But why touch that stable state? Maybe lets bring back slavery? Or how about mandatory service and some land invasion? Or split out the states as independent countries? What else would you like to flip to check if it maybe works better, since stable state is not great?



>But why touch that stable state?

Because it's not working for a majority of people? In a democracy, those are the rules.


The questions was why touch that stable state specifically. As in, why random tariffs, if you're up for flipping random switches with no good plan anyway. (My guess - it made some people lots of money. Not in a way that would make majority happy.)
