Larry Summers on the tariffs.

"This is the equivalent of an increase of perhaps $50 in the price of oil. [So] we are poorer. We spend less. And that means fewer jobs and more unemployment. We have administered a self-imposed supply shock to ourselves."

We can debate the normative merits of this chart, but it's the reality. Slashing federal funding to R1s is going to decimate not only STEM, but also the humanities/social sciences. And this will have huge effects on what your kids will be able to study at ~any college
