According to one of my economics comrades the governor's approach would cost the average working WA resident an extra $3861 per year!

Again, all this in an economy where the average American can not afford a $1k unexpected expense.

WA residents will pay nearly $4k more either directly in sales taxes OR indirectly as externalized costs in their everyday lives.

Ferguson is giving us a master class in regressive taxation.

Opinion: America the Unstable

1/4

> America under Donald Trump is an emerging market. That’s my takeaway from the last few days of tariff chaos and its fallout.

> [..] emerging markets are often characterised by uncertain #economics, corrupt politics, institutions that are too weak to enforce democratic norms, violence and social polarisation.

“10% universal tariff is now riddled with exemptions”

ICYMI:

There's been a lot of commentary this week on the longer term effects of Trump's economic 'policies'.

Although written before his partial pause on some of his imposed tariffs, I stand by my overall conclusions on what Trump's actions are likely to prompt:

A focus on regional trade agreements (and blocs) excluding the USA;

A shift away from the dollar as the global reserve currency; and

a shortening of global supply chains.

BREAKING: US Politicians were buying tariff exempt companies before the news like $AAPL Apple.

Take Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. She bought $AAPL, $AMZN, $DELL, $NKE, and others before the surprise announcement today, buyjng the companies as they fell.

Unusual.
