Textbook fascism:

“If you make [Trump] unhappy, he responds unhappy”.

Unbelievable. The US president makes those important decisions just because he’s “unhappy”?! For God sake...

Every regional Fed interviews lots of business people & others about what's happening & what's changing for them.

The Feds roll it all up into their Beige Book report 8 times each year.

People are talking about uncertainty now more than anytime in the last 55 years.

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

In new tariff news from this speech, Trump named the EU, China, Brazil, India, Mexico, Canada, and South Korea are the countries for possible April 2nd tariffs—that would cover the vast majority of US trade. He also reiterated he wants tariffs on food to start April 2nd.

"Les USA dépendent en partie du pétrole canadien": oui et non. Le diable est dans les détails. Depuis 2020, les USA sont un exportateur net de produits pétroliers.

I learned a new term today: rollup. When an outside investor consecutively acquires many of the small firms in a local market and consolidates them.

When this occurs with anesthesia practices, prices increase by 18%.

Not new! In The Political Beliefs of Americans (1967) Cantril & Free found that Americans were "ideological conservatives" opposed to abstract "big government", but "operational liberals" for lots of specific spending. It doesn't help that they have no clue re distribution of spending.
