Most of Trump's tariffs were just ruled illegal (because they were based on nonsense).
This is the second best possible off-ramp for the U.S. economy. The best would be if Congress were to take back the power the Constitution gave it.

The key to being a Leafs fan is to prepare for maximum disappointment. Being embarrassed 6-1 in game five was really bad. But pure disappointment is for the Leafs to win tonight, and then blow game seven at home.

This is what happens when low-wage employers lose their access to migrant labour…
…they expand the labour pool by bringing in children, under entirely inappropriate working conditions.
Remember, they do this instead of just raising wages.
