What a great way to stimulate domestic production and reduce our dependence on China.

World’s tiniest cello?

They really just announced that they are open for bidding.

I’d say get them arrested for trespassing except that most law enforcement leans maga.

Agency employees look like the general public. A third or so are gonna be maga and rooting for this even until they’re fired. Another is just disengaged and think “both sides bad” and this is going to be like business as usual.

Damn, I did not realize he was actually a serial killer. Imagine what would have happened if he weren’t stopped?

Dude should get this wrap.

Not below my expectations. I expect this fucker to tank everything he can.

It would be accurate to call a tariff what it is: a tax. Maybe the downside is ostrich-heads won’t be able to bury their heads in the sand and pretend it’s not a tax.

People are very used to paying taxes that don’t show up on their pay statement. Things like sales tax, property tax.

You’re saying a tariff doesn’t count as a tax because it gets hidden in the final price of goods?

Maybe corporate America will tack on a “tariff fee” like those bs restaurant service fees to tell consumers it’s not their fault.

Is this like making Covid go to zero by not counting cases any more? (It’s a rhetorical question, no need to answer)
