Alas that extra European leisure time imposes a cost on the entire world-- since Core EU is a key part of the world's R&D lab
American workaholism saves lives around the world, every day.

Everyone needs to listen to Gustav Holst's "The Planets", not for hoity-toity nerd reasons, but because every epic sci-fi movie OST for the past century has been directly lifting shit from this one specific collection of pieces, and you deserve to hear your favourite motif in its native environment.

In which I explain how the Liberation tariffs are like high oil prices:
They make it harder to buy, and harder to produce.
And to make matters worse, the tariffs only apply to America-- so foreign manufacturers now have an advantage over American manufacturers.

The Liberation Tariffs: Worse Than an Oil Embargo?

"For Americans, there’s one way that the Liberation tariffs are far worse than an oil price shock: while high oil prices show up in every country, the Liberation tariffs will only show up in America."

Big yikes in the commentary from the Dallas Fed survey:
• "If this continues for any length of time, many small companies are likely to be significantly hurt or even gone.... The risk we face now is far greater and less understood than what we saw during the COVID shutdown."

Curiously, Trump appears to be alone in his bizarre tariff bubble. Other countries appear likely to respond with tariffs or other sanctions against the US, but for the rest they seen to speed up free trade agreement.
Trump isolates & harms the US.
