I should begin by apologizing since this might turn into one of those tiresome subjects. Yes, I keep talking about tariffs, because they’re affecting everything and everyone.
From what I can tell, this administration is just throwing spaghetti at the wall, hoping to make some modern art they can sell. The amount of pretzeling going on to justify the obvious problems these decisions are creating is laughable at best.
I’ll go ahead and “predict” that we’re about to see a giant shift in the sea. Protests are breaking out, and from what I’ve read, the relationship between Trump and Elon is starting to sour.
Elon has decided to step down from DOGE—I seem to remember pundits telling us he wasn’t the head of DOGE, funny—and he’s going back to work on his Teslers, as Trump calls them. A lot of bag holders are threatening Elon, and he’s decided, for his own good, to head back to his usual caves.
All that said, the strawmen people are putting forth are just ridiculous. It’s so easy to make a caricature of the opposition’s argument and beat it to death, after all. But the copy-pasting—because that’s how they communicate these days—is hilarious to me.
Well, for those of you who love your iPhones, I hope you’ve got a couple of Bitcoins stashed in a cold wallet somewhere. If Apple actually does move their factory to California, you’re going to need them both.
MenO
