This is why I think that's a problem in my industry.

I bought a Ferrari hat at the Italian Grand Prix a few years ago and because it's a mostly red hat I never want to wear it these days.
It's not the worst thing MAGA has done to the world, but it's a little reminder of how they've made everything worse.

I've seen a few people recommend this @theatlantic.com article by David Brooks.
But like, I'm not sure the millions of Irish people killed or displaced by the Potato Famine are that keen on Robert Peel's great moral rectitude.

Just to clarify. These are direwolves to the same extent that two toddlers in a trench coat are a fully grown man.

No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction
Colossal Biosciences claims three pups born recently are dire wolves, but they are actually grey wolves with genetic edits intended to make them resemble the lost species

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.
They're eventually paid by us at the check out line.
And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

For many consumer goods these tariffs are effectively going to become VAT. Products like clothing, homewhere and some food simply can't be profitably made in the USA even if the price is doubled. They'll still be made abroad. They'll just cost Americans more. #tariffs
