	HN Discussion: ↑The comic/analogy is apt and humorously captures the self-destructive nature of tariffs ↑The analogy could be improved or made more perfect (e.g., saw instead of hammer) ↓The analogy is unrealistic and misrepresents the actual real-world tariff justification ~The comic oversimplifies economics by ignoring capital account dynamics and sectoral shifts •Questions about factual/legal context of tariffs without taking a stance on the argument
