I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

But why would people from anyplace else *risk* coming to the US right now? What if Customs/Border people at the airport find something about you they don't like?
Good luck to US travel/tourism industry

Can confirm US immigration in Canada looks like a zombie movie, and I got to personally see like 12 security agents and three customs and border people totally by myself.

It's such an elementary point, yet one that escapes Trump, the GOP, and most reporting. Few businesses can do anything in the face of these tariffs except weather them by cutting costs and raising prices. You can't do long-term planning around them, much less make large investments based on them.
really a perfect storm of factors working against the supposed goal of the tariffs - long term planning is fucked because you can’t rely on policies lasting four hours let alone four years, anything you build in the USA might be tariffed abroad, and building the damn factories got way more expensive
WSJ: “.. Tariff-swollen building costs helped to kill a $300 million plastics recycling plant in Erie, Pa., that had been in the works for four years.”

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

I am grateful for the conservatives who signed.
I am angry at and have contempt for the many lawyers who know what happening is wrong and are too cowardly to sign.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.
Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.
Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.
This is what "merit" means to them.
