    Domestic potato chip production about to get a big boost.

    Seriously, it sounds like they are not even requiring the same chip produced domestically. They’ll just make the dumbest cheapest chips. And if they can make any chip for less than the tariff, they’ll just make it, toss it and take a tax write off.
