But it does sound like those larger ones are (were) real living beings, and not desecrated modern human bodies like a lot of people want to suggest. It would not be the first hominid we've come across in the last decade or so obviously, but they are the strangest.
Then, they are working on it by working on Starship
Edit: 'two years' is unlikely, but Mars does have an atmosphere, so something like a Dragon capsule could land there with a parachute. That's not going to work so well on the moon
You see, tariffs are a tool. They’re protectionist. And when other countries distort markets, importers often respond this way.
For (a simplified) example, if there’s a 30% tariff on a $100 item, all else equal, the price is now $130, and the customer that originally would have paid $100 is now paying $130.
But what can — and I’ve experienced firsthand — happen, is that the US retailer will eat some/all of the tariff in order to not lose the customers business (or even just out of goodwill).
Also, the foreign supplier can do the same thing. Rather than lose the business of the US retailer, they may, in turn, eat some/all of the tariff.
I’ve seen both of these happen with products I’ve purchased over the past few months.
I’m not saying this happens a lot, but I don’t know that it doesn’t, either.
I’m just saying that it’s not as clear cut as the definition.
The whole idea is to dissuade the consumer from buying a foreign product, and choosing a domestic one instead. But if there is no domestic alternative, then it is always just going to be a case of "pay more or don't have it".
Anyway I just think everyone in the US are very silly for allowing this to happen. Very silly indeed.
