Question about the skill set and economics of manufacturing then and now…what has changed that this toy was able to be made and affordable purchased in England in the 1970s, when today it would be inconceivable that this not be made somewhere in Asia? #landrover

The 🇺🇸 Trump administration is destroying the country's economic future, and not just through tariffs. I wonder if any other country can be visionary enough to pick up at least some of this abandoned opportunity (🇨🇦 🇩🇪🇫🇷 🇬🇧 )? A devastating article on VOX: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Some simple tariff math ...
🇬🇧 watch brand Christopher Ward has website from which it's easy to calculate differences in prices for shipping 🇨🇭 watch to US vs Canada ...
🇺🇸$1095 + $442 in duty/tariffs = 🇺🇸$1537 VERSUS
🇨🇦$1460 + $145 in duty = 🇨🇦$1,605 or 🇺🇸$1140 at 0.71 exchange rate .. ~🇺🇸$400 less to 🇨🇦

Just musing about the size of new alliances … Canada is 40 million 🇨🇦. France 🇫🇷 and the UK 🇬🇧 are each almost 70 million. Australia 🇦🇺 and New Zealand 🇳🇿 combined are a little over 30 million. Germany is over 80 million. All that falls about 50 million short of the United States 🇺🇸.

“The crypto caper is a perfect encapsulation of the bold-faced graft at the heart of the new Trump presidency: Uber-wealthy elites are poised to cash in, while ordinary people get hosed. And public policy will be designed to encourage this exact outcome.”
It hasn’t even been two months and already we know we don’t need the long judgment and perspective of history: his second administration is extremely high up there, arguably the top, in terms of both most openly and brazenly corrupt and lawless:

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
