Old people could probably wait 1-2 years for food, electronics, and clothing. After all think about all the excess one gets rid of with retirement.
Families can’t survive 2-3 years waiting for manufacturing to hit US doorways

What is happening is 2-3 years? No one is going to start manufacturing in the US based on the existence of tariffs, which could be repealed at any time. Tariffs are not an embargo, families will still buy imported goods, they will just have to pay more. The standard of living is lowered because the effective tax rate (considering tariffs as a tax) is raised.
