Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt). Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders / envelopes.

The DJ intros for all of Apple Music’s radio shows are laughably obnoxious. Add an air horn and it almost sounds like it would be a joke on Family Guy.

Janine Piro, “I really don’t care about my 401(k).” Her worth is $14 million. Benny Johnson about the crash, “Losing money means nothing. You won’t even miss any of it.” Bennys worth is $500 million. Howard Ludnick, “Retirees can afford to lose a few checks.” Howard‘s worth is $4 billion.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

The stock market things Trump’s tariffs are as bad as a virus that shut down the country and caused 3.4 millions deaths in the first year.

If you need a reminder of why the tariffs are a public health issue as well: ▶️About 80% of our active pharmaceutical ingredients are produced abroad. ▶️About 50% of our generic drugs are manufactured overseas This means increased costs in an inevitably strained generic drug supply. Not good

For six short months in 1976, Sid and Marty Krofft had a trippy theme park only a few hundred thousand guests got to visit. It was a first-of-its-kind place, but for the Kroffts, it would be their only. This is the story of the short-lived World of Sid and Marty Krofft.

If Disney doesn’t aggressively defend itself from a US government who wants them to eliminate minority and underrepresented groups they don’t deserve my loyalty. Before long they will be back to making propaganda cartoons like they did 80 years ago.

The Onion is aggressively on sale. Subscribing helps us hire comedy writers who get health insurance and even food to eat, with their mouths. That food is converted into energy which allows them to make sentences that make the government sad. Sign up to let this continue: membership.theonion.com
