They will be tariffed

Great essay. Thanks for alerting me to a must watch film.

Tariffs @ 21% average, plus the USD losing 12-13% value against other currencies = significant fiscal pain ahead for U.S. households. Talk about a recipe for stagflation. No wonder Fed Chair Jerome Powell is keeping his powder dry.

Or… what does he have on Bessent?

“Most sophisticated president on economics in the past century???”

That’s where I had to nope out on that sham of an interview.

The discussion on Bloomberg is similarly confounding. They are coming from it from the perspective that it all eventually has to settle out on a macro level..for the same reasons parachute pants could eventually come back into fashion.

And… they’re already buying the dip.

It’s distraction. Its theater.

It’s a Friday before a long weekend in May. There will be low volume and no trading Monday.

He wants a headline for the weekend news cycle that will be asking what his next move is.

He gets it all wrong on purpose. He lives to take things out of context and create false narratives with them because MAGA equates $$ with smart and honest.

Los Angeles can pull 100,000 people into a protest by literally just dropping a semi coherent post on Facebook with a date, time and “Pershing Square” in the body of the text.

It’s not anywhere near 10% of the population.

10% is a movement in a rural, purple state. Aim for 15% next time.

Enough to get on the news. The rest of the country thinks there are 9 of you and the rest are a bunch of fentanyl slinging Canadians invading our country.

Belligerent victimhood because people are stubborn about trying to fix things long after they can’t be fixed, is not an excuse.

In the 1930s, people migrated when opportunity dried up. Same with every other rural generation before WW2.

This is a new phenomenon and it’s self inflicted.

Agreed, and let’s add “…and the ability to arbitrarily declare an “emergency” that sweepingly increases those powers without actually being able to define that emergency or explain why how those measures will solve the emergency.”

Right. Because restaurants are walking into grocery stores and buying out all the eggs. And that creates an egg shortage.

It’s not a shortage problem per se. It’s essentially “ I can’t find eggs in my local grocery store” problem.

So, it seems to me that the shortages are confined to red states in the Southeast and Midwest.

I’m out here in Southern California and have never had a problem buying a dozen eggs in local grocery stores. Costco has issues keeping them on the shelves, but that’s because restaurants buy them up.

You’re giving them credit where none is due. They’re still claiming it’s Hunter Biden’s laptop’s fault.

The new post war West German government in Berlin made a lot of laws suppressing the outward expression of Nazism and denouncing it and its ideology as incompatible to the new German state.

I personally have had conversations with German nationals and many carry a generational shame.

That’s just ball sucking.

It just sounds good because people don’t understand how much work it takes to change the constitution.

Yes. The history lessons were white wash. Most history lessons are.

It wasn’t established for democracy. It was established to extract resources from foreign lands that could be sold in Europe.

The locals just got sick of being exploited after a century or so. Democracy was an afterthought.

They avoid interviewing anyone who they know will give him a bad review.

This happened with his SCOTUS nominees and most of his cabinet last time.

People forget that Roanoke and Massachusetts Bay Colonies were originally established by work charters given to British trading corporations by the King.

It was the original “Drill, baby! Drill.”
Religion had nothing to do with any of it beyond its use as a way to maintain order / control.
