Right wing tariffcels make sense to me because American conservatism hates life itself. Left wing tariffcels are idiots at best and first world chauvinists at worst (and bad at that!). “Uhhh the US should destroy Cambodian society a second time so Americans can go to the textile factories” dumbass.

A lot of "post-left" personalities like Brand claim they were pushed away from the left but were in fact drawn to the right as a means of escaping accountability for their own actions
Russell Brand has spent the past few years aligning himself with the American right as allegations of sexual violence were made public against him. He knew he would find defenders and protection among their ranks. That should tell you everything you need to know about what the party represents

I’m sure it’s nothing, probably best chalk it up as Just One Of Those Things
It’s weird how extra costs trickle down to consumers but extra profits don’t. What’s that all about

One interesting thing I've noticed is that people with a background in finance are downplaying the tariffs, and the economists I know are basically on suicide watch. Do with that information what you will but, imo, econs are much better suited to analyze the macro effects of a situation like this.

Kind of funny that a lot of this is happening because all these rich and powerful people are afraid to contradict a fey old dunce who watches TV for 19 hours every day. A fitting way to go out for the worst and wimpiest elite the US ever produced. "Can't read, didn't want to get yelled at."
