Get this up to scale and housing could end up being incredibly easy, fast and cheaper to build. Would love your thoughts!

These tarrifs have nothing to do with whatever the US government has said regarding Canada or Greenland or Panama. It's much simpler than this. This is simply a wealth transfer from the working class to the owning class.
Who pays for the tarrifs?
