"I see an American economy that's very much frozen in place."
Policy whiplash around tariffs creates the option value of waiting. Firms won’t expand into opportunities that might vanish, and they're not pivoting based on threats that might fade. It's an uncertainty-driven paralysis.

I am also content if others feel the need to mourn instead.

I'd like to also point out the slight irony of Kennedy telling people not to trust the "experts" while wanting them to trust in his competence to run the CDC.
It's never been about "trusting scientific expertise", the game is *equating* scientific competence with politically motivated incompetence.

1. "'Trusting the experts is not a feature of either a science or democracy," Kennedy said."
It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy.
I've written a fair bit about trust in expertise as a vital mechanism in the collective epistemology of science.

Henry George smiles ever so slightly from beyond the grave as the ideas he upheld so strongly is slowly creeping back.
The thing that will ultimately doom me is that I do actually believe that this world was made a common treasury for everyone to share. I still struggle to articulate or understand what that entails, but there's some kinda core belief of that form which I can't shake.

Start a trade war with China. Escalate when they retaliate. Repeat until a near-embargo. Meet to agree on a 90 day pause. Get nervous about that agreement, so re-meet to re-agree to that 90 day pause. As the 90 day pause draws to a close, meet to agree to a 90 day pause.
