We are an economy 1/10 the size of the US, but one thing that Trump cannot do is force us to buy American stuff or visit American places. My family is dual citizen, but it would take a family emergency to get me to cross the border now.

Apropos of nothing, a reminder that German stock markets kept climbing in an almost uninterrupted fashion in the run-up to WW2. Investors are really, really bad at pricing serious institutional and political risks.

It's beyond shameful that so many EU countries have still not stopped these exports to Russia after more than 3 years of war.
It's actually not possible to drive a truck from Germany to Kyrgyzstan without passing through Russia. So no surprise that much of what Germany says gets exported to Kyrgyzstan (black) never actually gets there (blue). Kyrgyzstan is just what gets written on the invoice. Stuff never goes there...

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.
