Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

I don't ever save scum.

Big RPG choice, intense dialogue option, whatever. Living with my choices is what makes it impactful. Reverting and trying again because you "didn't get the best one" doesn't feel authentic to me.

One save. That's it. Whatever happens, happens.
