from today's post about Mad King Donny slapping tariffs on an island inhabited solely by penguins —
thanks for reading!
link to the whole enchilada is here: bit.ly/3FVJT4f
(longer excerpt in the alt text)
ok, but when Donny’s team of economic brainiacs got to Heard and McDonald Islands, by what insane fever dream did they calculate a ten percent tariff? because it’s in the middle of the Antarctic — and, as noted at the top of this post, is inhabited only by pengiuns. how are we generating a trade imbalance with penguins, for fuck’s sake? because I’ve seen penguins in the zoo. you throw a fish at them, they catch it in mid-air and swallow it down — and then they waddle around, hoping for more. that’s it. that’s their whole deal. it’s an economy based on free fish. and pray tell, why the fuck did they slap an 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory? because the only thing there is a US military base. these morons just tariffed their own soldiers. they also slapped a 10% tariff on the meteorological station of the Arctic Sea island of Jan Mayan. it’s a small Norwegian island with no permanent residents. something like 18 researchers work there. they don’t have an economy.

@iamsassa.bsky.social Sending love and gratitude. Lost my Sasha girl who would have been 17 in May. Here’s a painting I made the week after she went over the rainbow. She was a puppy when the reference photo was taken.
