On 9/12/01, New Yorkers were already demonstrating in Union Square under the slogan, “Our grief is not a cry for war!”
Was infinitely proud of my adopted city at that time, & am similarly proud today that New Yorkers turned out en masse to demonstrate against this idiotic and immoral war of choice.

The tariffs are not an economic tool, but a political one.
They're meant to elicit bribes from every company asking for exceptional relief from them. That's how it works.
Secondary "benefit": market manipulation. They sell high, announce tariffs, buy low when market responds.

Since people here like reading, & seem to be rather literate (perhaps even literary), I want to share a little experiment I did with some lines pulled from Camus' THE PLAGUE, replacing "plague," "epidemic" & a few other choice words with "fascism." (See attachment for the document.)
