The market will adjust to their predictions of the tariffs’ effects, so in theory they’re already baked in. But that being said, I think there’s a lot of uncertainty over how the market will actually be affected so we’ll have to wait and see.

I think the original tweet gets things the wrong way around. Fascism arose in the early twentieth century as a response to the threat of communism. If the threat’s not real and they’re making it up, to what end? What is fascism needed for?

Was mad. He saw my CATU scarf, asked what it was, then immediately started talking about invasions and Vance. We told him to fuck off pretty quickly.

I know in the Damned Utd film they make it seem as if Clough was never informed until Revie sat beside him and they went live. That’s not true is it?
