OK, maybe not good, but maybe a good point? I live in a small town in a state where fireworks are illegal. BUT, the explosions start about a week before New Years and the 4th. Continue on for days afterward and as far as I know nobody here has ever been ticketed for it. Some big ones too that rattle the windows. So maybe tariffs aren't all bad

p.s. - Love your name Fred. Had to go to Youtube to watch a couple of old SNL clips.
