In his latest newsletter, Elie Mystal discusses the real-world impacts of political actions, particularly referencing Donald Trump's tariffs that led Nintendo to delay Switch 2 preorders. The author recounts a touching moment with his son, who expressed concern about increased costs due to tariffs and reflected on the notion of hard work as a solution to economic challenges. Mystal struggles with conveying the complexity of economic realities, illustrating the disconnect between efforts of individuals and the consequences of government decisions.
I hated that he believed that he could overcome the slings and arrows of an outrageous government and rapacious capitalism with 'hard work' and sound financial planning.
The uncertainty created by Donald Trump's market-destroying tariffs pushed Nintendo to delay preorders for the Switch 2 in the US.
