I saw a comedian say: after 10 months, he hasn't figured out what "tariffs" are.
Bottom line: US tariffs are essentially sales taxes on lower-income and retired Americans.
The explicit goal+mechanism of tariffs is to force those people to pay more for the same products.

My hottest take of the day for the survey methods & immigration crowd:
Conjoint experiments on immigrant profile choice are not a good way to know whether refugees are more popular than economic immigrants (or any other descriptive Q about immigration policy preferences).

This is the purposeful destruction of the American academy.
there’s a lot of talk about big tech and corporations but so many international academic colleagues are also on H1Bs.
no university is going to pay 100k extra a year to keep them. if this holds, it would essentially mean the end of foreigners on tenure track jobs at US universities.
