Amidst this nightmare there are reasons for optimism. But success requires continuing to ratchet up the pressure on Congress and the Administration. Turn fear into courage, because "courage is also contagious". Keep fighting. Read this to help fuel you: https://www.alternet.org/an-ever-stro...
I mean, Bill Kristol’s been more on-point recently than virtually the entire Democratic Party. We’re far through the looking glass, so Larry Summers may as well get his 15 minutes of not being dead wrong.
I can't believe people are still making this category error.
Trump is levying the tariffs in this way not only because he is incapable of understanding how they work or their inevitable consequences, but mainly he's doing it because economic chaos in the West benefits Russia & China.
I feel like psychologically most people just can’t “go there.” Yeah, Daddy is not just a bad driver, he’s intentionally crashing the car with you in it. Scary as hell.
They didn’t calculate anything, they pulled numbers out of their as*.
Trump had to pull all the Republican Congress out of his as* first though, they all love to burrow deep in there.
Whatever. All I know is that Trump, Musk and the other Republicans are lazy as sh*t and if they had to work on or calculate anything they’d all go into the fetal position, sucking on their golf clubs like pacifiers.
Mainly makes sense if you realize the plan *is* to break things as much and as quickly as possible in order to remake the world into a bunch of little company towns but worse. Will it work? Probably not! But this is their once in a lifetime chance to try, sooo https://bsky.app/profile/junlper.beer/post/3llwwfq7qvc2n
…..please realize they are TRYING to crash the economy so they can make everyone go broke and have sell what they have just survive, and then the billionaires will be swooping in to buy EVERYTHING up for pennies on the dollar
American exceptionalism has never been more apparent than it is right now. The US has degraded itself and is disintegrating as a democracy at lightning speed.
Absolutely in a class by itself.
No other nation could have fucked up so bad, so fast.
Goodbye Lady Liberty.
Everybody was worried he didn’t know what the f*** tariffs were, and should have been more concerned he didn’t know what a trade deficit is either.
Got tariffs based on trade deficits, and it’s actually bonkers that Congress hasn’t reclaimed that power by now. Should have when he was running on it.
This is why you give your younger sibling a controller not plugged in, to make them feel involved, without messing everything up for people who know what’s going on.
The old saying is it would be better to have Larry Summers in the tent pissing out, etc., but unless it is his tent he will always be outside pissing in.
Trump is such a Judas, although he acts like he is Pontious Pilate and the "fairness" is forcing him to order the crucifixion of America. He is the money changer the man he claims to worship had warned us about from the book he claims to follow buck also hawks for money.
Larry Summers wrongly assessed Biden’s economic plan providing the fascist with talking points they used w/glee throughout Biden’s president obscuring how enviable our economy was leading to Trump’s victory, so excuse me throwing up a bit in my mouth at the mention of his name now eventhough
I’ve heard convincing arguments that a LLM crafted the policies. They seem to have a common logical error that replicates the equation that was used. FWIW.
We all need to stop rationalising all the crap going on. We can't place reason on this! This is purely for their own interests. It is deliberately actioned!! We must fight back in new ways! Actively, in our masses, every day! We must call all the shit what it is please.

It's just utter nonsense. It's like if an 8 year boy was put in charge of the nation's economic policies. Do not try to find a rationale behind these decisions.
The only policies he knows are cruelty, vengeance, sadism, and greed!!
Imagine this way of thinking started with liberals and kookie hippies in the 1960s!! How it’s been corrupted by the right wing nut jobs is truly interesting.
It isn't reciprocal if you started it... can we all note that? Same for Russia attacking Ukraine and for Israel attacking Palestine. It isn't reciprocal if you started it.
- Crash the economy.
- Sissy SpaceX and the other billionaires can buy up businesses and land for pennies on the dollar.
- Rinse and repeat endlessly while the public starves.

What's that?
Trump is levying the tariffs in this way not only because he is incapable of understanding how they work or their inevitable consequences, but mainly he's doing it because economic chaos in the West benefits Russia & China.
These actions help China and probably Russia.
Why do that?
Trump had to pull all the Republican Congress out of his as* first though, they all love to burrow deep in there.
