This is tariffs as a percentage of fiscal revenue!

duncanlamont2.bsky.social•31 days ago

Correct!

vkmacro.bsky.social•31 days ago

Us tariffs?

domw.bsky.social•31 days ago

Yeah, I think more specifically it’s the percentage of total government revenues raised through tariffs.

vkmacro.bsky.social•31 days ago

That’s the one

duncanlamont2.bsky.social•31 days ago

Bingo, well done

% of federal tax revenue raised from tariffs.

duncanlamont2.bsky.social•31 days ago

Close enough. It’s as a % of gov revenues (e.g. some has come from land sales rather than tax)

awilcox.chalmere.com•31 days ago

I'd go tariffs as % of federal income too.

duncanlamont2.bsky.social•31 days ago

You got it!

duncanlamont2.bsky.social•31 days ago

🚨ANSWER: it’s the % of US gov revenues from customs duties/tariffs

Well done to all who guessed right

An important follow up: the % fell because other sources of income rose, not because income from customs duties fell

In real terms it is already high (Covid goods splurge + Trump 1.0 tariffs)

brokenbanker.bsky.social•31 days ago

certainly tariffs over a denominator of something. let's say total US government tax revenues ?

mpaulmcnamara.bsky.social•31 days ago

duncanlamont2.bsky.social•31 days ago

ersquare.bsky.social•31 days ago

duncanlamont2.bsky.social•31 days ago

It is tariff related but not that. Just posted the answer https://bsky.app/profile/duncanlamont2.bsky.social/post/3lgiceatlss2t

duncanlamont2.bsky.social•31 days ago

Bingo ✅

Looks like the cost of orange face dye over the last 200 years. Price has fallen sharply since people switched away from white lead.

Security settlement fail rates

Isn’t this pattern a function of the transition to a developed high income per capita country?

I suppose they might think the ai economic model might disrupt the value of labour and hence the tax that supports the state.
