Found genuine joy in my writing today. It's been a long while and I don't know why today of all days, with all the incredibly depressing stuff going on. But I'll take it.

this may be a cold take btw but i dont think we paid ENOUGH attention to the Pivot To Video, the point of which i think is clear in retrospect WAS to utterly annihilate an extant and flourishing media ecosystem and replace it with something much easier to push low-trust audience fractionation with

In a real way, tariffs are like a broken window.

Every dollar spent on fixing that window is money that could have gone toward literally anything else, and you won't see those things.

You don't see the art it would have gotten or the car repair or savings for having a baby or college or whatever

I flew many times to South America in the 90s, and when the plane hit cruising altitude and the "no smoking" light went off you could hear the sound of 300 lighters flicking at the same time

At the instant I write this, the mid market rate for EUR from USD is 0.8514. So in theory, US$100 is worth €85.14. But no forex operation could stay in business offering that rate. They have to add a margin to survive. So a 4% margin on that would mean you get €81.87 for $100.

Running a foreign exchange cash operation, especially with modern compliance requirements, is a pain. A fair price is around 4% or less from mid market. In more rural areas with limited volumes, prices around 6% from mid market are not unreasonable.

The mid market rate would be the "neutral" rate (halfway between average buy and sell rates) that you see on websites such as XE (just to pull a random example out of my hat 😉)
