Wait till Trump finds out how the multiplier effect of tariffs really work. Tariffs cement increased prices for the tariffed goods AND, where applicable, prices of the locally produced equivalent.
The supply/retail chains are not walking back on a windfall profits now that sourcing will be cheaper.
Tariffs tossed; shoppers save cheddar. #econsky
BREAKING: The Trump Administration has just dropped tariffs on dozens of food items, including:

Beef
Tomatoes
Coffee
Bananas
Coconuts
Nuts
Avocados
Pineapples

PM Mark Carney was talking about attracting foreign investment to Canada and listed reasons Canada is a good place to invest. A reporter pointed out that the U.S. has those things, too. What sets Canada apart?

PM Carney: "Well, we have rule of law."

Prime Minister Carney is a class act. Depth of knowledge and experience on Economics, Finance and Politics.
But, also...
The heart beat of Canadians.

What's with the WH having to make a quick office printer job to identify the Oval office...from the outside?
That and the flagpoles/ communication towers to communicate with idk Russia? are sending messages to someone somewhere?
Also: Good one Gov. N.

YES! 😝😜
I think Trump needs to keep telling people from his gilded palace that grocery prices are way down, housing and electricity prices are down, and everything is great because of his genius. They seem to like that.

Hey #fungifriends… Did you know mushrooms can be used for natural dye?! My wife @thisiskimqi.bsky.social created this palette from 9 mushrooms species foraged on the Oregon coast this last weekend!

Yes they are permanent.

Rising living costs + fears of civil unrest = Draw downs on reserves and increased debt. Big Tech adding billions of (many off balance sheet) debt for the AI altar. Gov. wasting 100's of billions on ICE and Argentina. Foreign investors no longer keen on US. Result: US Banking system flailing.
I post monthly about the jobs report and inflation…but since we haven’t had an actual report in months, I’m going to talk about how in the moonlit night of Halloween the Fed Reserve injected about $29 billion of liquidity into the banking system — the largest overnight operation since the pandemic.🧵

Got the Sunday video up early this time!

If you've been seeing news about "oh no there's a spike in farm bankruptcy"- it is NOT as simple as "farms go out of business & then investors buy them all."

Completely taken out by the grimly patriotic, American-flag riddled anti-tariff ad on the American League Championship Series. On Fox. With the stinger that the person talking is Ronald Reagan. Brought to you by Ontario, Canada.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?
