The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause.
Meanwhile, retirees, small businesses, and workers are still reeling from the mess.
Trump's actions feel chaotic until you see who really comes out on top.

The past week has been another horror show, and I share your anxiety and sleeplessness. But the past week also reveals the utter incompetence of Trump and his regime. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought

This is a sad but interesting question. How many grad students will leave and where, if anywhere will they go ?
Live here and am in grad school here. I have one class where 13 out of the 15 in it are leaving the state or country at end of semester.
That funding loss will really impact the summer where the population is half that so it’s about $2k per person.
