You can’t just get rid of tariffs & expect prices to go down.
Corporations only care about profit.
If consumers are paying the inflated price for their product, they won’t reduce the price just bc costs went down.
Getting rid of tariffs won’t decrease prices, it’ll only increase profit margins.

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Pretty wild that the first evidence of human writing is a hashtag on the floor of a cave & here we are 39,000 years later still using the same basic symbol every single day.

Minimum wage went up to $7.25 in 2009. Full time workers can make around $15k/year before taxes on that.
51% inflation over 16 years, no change in minimum wage.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:
“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

It seems like the REAL economy is crushing the working class, while upper-middle class still gets by.
Meanwhile, the ruling class has only gotten wealthier, so they don’t give a shit.
The people in charge are so out of touch & that’s a HUGE problem.
“This is the golden age. Let them eat cake.”
