    The title is incrediblely vague but the article is pretty straightforward. They want to build incentives for movie production. How they’ll manage that with tariffs specifically (rather than say a tax cut) who knows

      Right, that’s what the headline conveys, and it’s still not how anything works.

      It would be like saying “We want to encourage people to make ice cream, so we’re going to use thumb tacks. We’re still pretty vague on the ‘how’ but probably something like putting thumbtacks on the chairs of people who are making something that isn’t ice cream.”

      Tariffs are literally the opposite of incentives. They’re beating away the competition with a stick.
