No place is safe from Trump’s tariffs. Even uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands near Antarctica. I guess those penguins must have treated Trump badly in the past!
But wait, where’s Russia on that list? Why is it not there?
Make it make sense..

USA-Ukraine Agreement in brief (1/3):
US: You owe us $500 billion.
Ukr: What? For what?
US: For helping you.
Ukr: But you said it was free. And you signed a pact in the 90s that said if we gave up our nuclear weapons, you would guarantee our security.

The U.S. is increasingly resembling Russia. Launching an unprovoked economic war against its closest allies is just the latest example. While brute force may yield short-term gains, the long-term consequences will be devastating, both the US and others.

Trump announced 25% tariffs on Canada to fight the ongoing fentanyl crisis. The Canada-US border is the longest in the world (5,526mi), 3x as long as the US-Mexico border. Despite this, less than 1% of fentanyl comes from the north. Clearly, the tariffs are motivated by something else. #DataAnalysis

Context matters. If you look at real wage growth (inflation-adjusted) there has been no "massive" wage growth recently. In fact the growth in the last quarters didn't even offset the wage decline between 2021 and 2023. Be responsible, or ppl will say there are "lies, damned lies and statistics".
