The US president is a fucking idiot.
After weeks of touting post-Liberation Day efforts to calm uneasy markets, Trump vowed to target the European Union with new 50 percent tariffs, declaring that he was no longer interested in reaching a trade deal following days of sluggish negotiations.

"Apple succeeded in negotiating a tariff exemption for consumer electronics. Did you know that exemption doesn’t cover spare parts?"
Succinct words on tariffs, old electronic devices & the Right to Repair. Well worth your time.

@SnowshadowII We were just saying this today. here are a few examples:
Carrots at another store 2.50 - Zehrs Loblaws $5
Bananas everywhere but Loblaws 59 cents / lb Zehrs Loblaws 79 cents
Oat milk we buy 3.49 - Zehrs Loblaws 4.49.
We only go there for there extreme deals. Otherwise we will not support Gaelen Weston’s greed.

Listening to Jeffrey Sachs here, one of the world's absolute top economists, it became completely clear what is going on economically. Sachs uses plain language, and I finally "got" the big picture. Highly recommend!

It's been long clear, but it's getting clearer and clearer:
Americans are gonna pay the price of F-ing Around.
But what nobody realizes: every destruction will cost years of hard work and money to restore.
So Americans, say good bey to the good old days.

A bad job, done poorly... this whole administration should be sent home. But unfortunately, that is what the US system does not allow...
The Trump clown-show raised Chinese tarrifs to 145%
I predict China is going to issue a policy for industry to stop attaching "Made in China" labels to products.
China will be paying import tarrifs to USA that is a bit higher than 10%
(Other countries will export Chinese goods at 10% to USA and take a cut)

Donald Trump has declared a trade war against the entire world with the introduction of tariffs on all imports into the country.
While he may have paused many of these tariffs for 90 days, the trade war itself is still very much alive — and the working class is who will suffer.
Here’s how to understand Trump’s trade war 
All of this economic manipulation is making me think...
Has anyone ever created something that shows a real-world vendor booth market but operated as if were the stock market?
A real world visualization of all of the ways it's manipulated and manipulative?
I'm so angry at my grocery store for selling me more food than they buy from me that I'm going to impose huge taxes on myself for the food I buy from them, so that I can't afford to buy as much food as I bought in the past. That will teach the grocery store not to sell me the food I want to buy from them!
