a small number of engineering jobs in the overall scope of things. But don't they also matter even if their numbers are small in comparison? I think all of them matter, but that's just me I guess.
Scorched earth tactics that harm fellow Democrats isn't the most productive response. In fact, I'm arguing that we are mostly only harming ourselves in the end, and I'd be right. We are damaging thousands of people for the sake of costing Elon Musk a small portion of his billions. We need to start thinking things through a little more. This whole economic war against our own citizens thing is a terrible idea from almost any angle.
