...or perhaps displaying correct units is hard 🤣

Money well spent 👊

I'd be interested in a thread expanding on this topic...

Could the visible discomfort I attributed to a spineless inability to criticize Washington, actually have been due to the guilt of concocting false narratives covering our complicitity in Trump's scheme?

/end

Months from now, we might find Australia’s 10% tariff is quietly negotiated away for meaningless baubles. It sounds conspiratorial - but it would explain politicians’ past inability to give forthright answers. /19

Of course, there’s another possibility: the 10% tariff on Australia may not actually exist. Australian politicians could be complicit in Washington’s scheme, providing countries Trump *actually* sees as "perpetrators" with an example of the "correct" response. /18

Trump does not respect obsequious minions. He is purely transactional. Obedience only invites further burdens. Weakness is disdainfully exploited. /17

By trying not to poke the bear, we immediately surrendered an equal negotiating position. To remove or reduce the 10% tariff will require concessions on our existing position, whereas Washington will be bargaining with assets that never really existed. /16
