The @pbsnews.org interviewed three economists about Trump's tariffs. Ha-Joon Chang, Willy Shih and @justinwolfers.bsky.social They all shared the same opinion about his policies - it takes a long time to build up factories. Companies also hate chaos. Trump is chaos.

🧵I worked at a garment factory in the 90s. It was called Garan. We made Garananimals clothing for children. The plant moved to Mexico in the early 2000s. 99% of the workers were women. The women who climbed up on top of tables and cut patterns out all day made $6.40/hour. The girls turning shirts

SCOTUS didn’t even have equitable discretion to vacate Boasberg’s orders b/c he was in the middle of contempt proceedings. You have to have “clean hands.” It would be like a drug dealer filing a complaint because he didn’t get paid. Cannon did the same thing in the documents special master case.

The irony of Elon accusing everyone under the sun of profiting from some nebulous slush fund is that he himself is the recipient of $38 billion in government handouts.

I went to school a million years ago and students had the option of not attending Anzac ceremonies for whatever reason, including religious objections which makes sense because the Anzacs fought for us to be able to have democracy and choice and yet we just keep getting stupider.

Trump’s tariffs won’t wreck Australia’s economy. But America’s could be cooked. On this Dollars & Sense, @grogsgamut.bsky.social & @haydenstarr.bsky.social discuss Trump’s tariffs, the RBA's magic 8-ball monetary policy & why minimum wage increases don’t drive up inflation. #auspol

Tail attempting to wag the dog. Trump imagines that the US dominates the global economy and can dictate terms. Actually, US accounts for about 9 per cent of global trade in goods (10-11 % in goods + services). World can do without US if necessary. #worldpol www.forbes.com/sites...

"Most of the world isn't going to put a tariff on Australian beef. If Americans want to pay more for it, that sounds like a them problem, not an us problem," @richarddenniss.bsky.social joined CNN to discuss the potential impacts (or non-impacts) of Trumps tariffs.

Last month we were run over by the Trump tariff truck on steel and aluminum. The same truck has just backed up over us this morning. The best @albomp.bsky.social can say, as he lies there avoiding eye contact with driver Trump, is “No one has got a better deal”. 🤷‍♂️ #auspol

Mandate talk tends to seem a little silly when your approval is in the low 40’s and special elections are showing 15 point swings in the wrong direction. But sure, go ahead and gut services and raise taxes on everyone but billionaires. I’m sure that will work out fine.

Walz: "It's like Trump is stuck in the '80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. He's been on this tariffs thing forever and every economist will tell you they just don't work ... I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country is that Trump understands anything about business."
