Realistically? For some stuff American jobs will move back, but I think most of the jobs will just move to other countries that don't have the scrutiny that China has. Countries like the Philippines which have only a 17% tariff on the new scheme. On top of that, they probably are lower cost for labor and the biggest cost is the factory itself and shipping infrastructure. If a company has to finance a new factory anyways, the Philippines is more attractive than the US.

And that's just a random country I picked from the tariff list. I'm sure there some country out there that has the right mix of cheap labor, shipping infrastructure, location, and obscurity that lets it avoid tariffs to the point where most good come from there instead.

Interesting to see the difference. In the US it's most common for mortgages to be "fixed rate" and remain the same for the entire loan period. Downside is a higher base percentage, we got down to about 2.6-2.7% in the same time period. Upside is that your payment will never go up.

Images from PDFs, wasn't thinking about that. I normally work with just image files. Cool!

What image types are you using that ffmpeg can't convert? To my knowledge it works for almost anything.

Ffmprg is remarkably powerful. If it is a picture on your screen, you can use ffmpeg to do what you want to it. Recently discovered it could convert PNG, jpeg, and webp images back and forth. To think I've only used it for video.

Even if they did go through the trouble to do their own taxes, the IRS specifically instructs taxpayers to not calculate it themselves, but rather to use a "tax table" to lookup their income and next to it is listed their income tax amount.
