I'm not sure how higher tech prices for you and I are a good thing, but sure. Because that's what is going to happen here, it's simply expanding tariffs on more items.

Where did they suggest that they thought that it was a good thing? Mind the quotation marks

Have you read the comments in the thread, everyone is suggesting this is a great thing.

higher tech prices for you and I

Not for me. You know some of us don't live in US, right?

And I wasn't passing comment on whether or not it was a good thing. I merely pointed out that the reason the tech bros were upset was the fact they were being taxed.
