Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

OK, I'm going to take the like as a yes.
So, to be clear, this thread hits on three things - dealing with worry, dealing with feeling helpless, and focusing on limited available paths to productively help. Maybe some of this stuff will work for you - all I can say for sure is that it has helped me.

You open to suggestions/advice? Based on how I got through the three times my wife was out playing in combat zones?

If there's something I learned from my wife's wars, it was how to understand, and even embrace, how little power I had.
Because that's a thing - when people are shooting at a loved one and you are thousands of miles away, there's precious little that you can do. You need to accept that to survive.

There has been much discussion of what it actually does.

The president-elect’s pose says: here’s a man you can’t get rid of easily. The new vice-president’s says: ‘Can you believe this?’
It’s possible that you have seen far more of Donald Trump’s face than you’d like in recent months. But if you haven’t, then…

Related: People I know IRL who know what I do for a living often ask what they need to know about online safety for their about-to-be-teenagers, and there's a lot of answers, but the thing I always emphasize most is: under no circumstances should you ever threaten to take access away from them.
And a lot of you post the photos but put an emoji sticker over the kid's face or whatever: that is really, really, really not sufficient to prevent people from doing things with them you do not want to know about. Do not post photos of your kids online, period.
I am one of those people who is *really, really good* at identifying exactly where and when a photo was taken from basic context clues (a skill I developed for human rights research and journalism purposes).
Trust me on this, don’t post photos of your kids on the public internet.
