Proudly grown and baked in the USA… as part of a global supply chain and owned by a multinational. Don’t buy the hype.

Yeah, so I'm probably not going to go see this.

I don't have time to turn this into a bunch of posts, but here I outline a few of the ways in which Trump's tariff plan makes little sense.

Even my dog knows your trade war is stupid.

Made this for lecture today to illustrate the American products the EU is putting retaliatory tariffs on. I know AI will kill us all, but for now, it's kind of fun.

That happy-sad feeling when your research shows that you were right: there are some evil companies out there.

As part of his new trade war with China, Trump suspended the de minimus exemption for imports from China. This exempts imports of "low-value" shipments -- under $800 -- from tariffs. Why was this created? The first reason given by the NFTC is that: 1/2.

Over in my own thread, I explain that I think this is about Pillar 1 which will mostly hit the tech firms. You know, these guys who got the best seats on Monday...

See the work of Mike Devereux and Martin Simmler on this at oxfordtax.sbs.ox.ac.uk/files/wp21-1...
With that in mind, are you so surprised by the kissing of the ring by the #techbros who stand to save billions if Trump kills the agreement.

In a bold move, Kerry Co Co have renamed the Atlantic to the Kerry Ocean, citing “it was ours anyway.” Locals suggest maps will now feature Dingle as the Earth's central meridian. (Stolen from Kerry News who seem to exist only on FB.)
