schestowitz[TR2]The media tends to frame tariffs as immediate economic threats, focusing on consumer price spikes or trade wars. Why? Because our elite class (doesn’t really matter what side) wants us in constant fear and worry, and they’ve learned a thing or two from the prevailing party in 1930s Germany about using whatever means necessary to influence the populace.

Trump’s approach seems less about short-term harmony and more about long-term leverage - kind of like using economic power as a geopolitical we-pon. It’s not always pretty, but it can be effective. We’ll see what happens. Sometimes disrupters are exactly what’s needed. For now my attitude is “okay…gueApr 07 02:09
