Seems fine..everything is fine - we'll just layer on tariff higher prices, more expensive HC, cut student loan subsidies, piss off our allies and create a labor shock - what in the actual hell could go wrong.
US now has:
1. Record $18.6 trillion in household debt
2. Record $13.1 trillion in mortgages
3. Record $1.7 trillion in auto loans
4. Record $1.7 trillion in student loans
5. Record $1.2 trillion in credit card debt
Even worse? 33% of Americans now have more credit card debt than emergency savings

Fox News will applaud this but can you imagine their coverage if President Biden hatched a secret plan to take over Fox News and revamp its programming to be nicer to him
New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."

1) Impose massive tariffs on China
2) China retaliates by ending its soybean imports
3) Cut deal w/ China so they'll buy our soybeans
4) China buys only 20%, so far, of what it agreed to purchase

Agree with this.. it's the lesser of two evils by a million miles. 🧵👇
this really creates a weird dynamic
like yes, dems should fight ALL media consolidation, but you'd rather have Netflix own Warner Brothers than a Saudi/Kusher/Ellison coalition dominating what's left of media after the already problematic CBS acquisition

I hope that @warren.senate.gov, the @wgawest.bsky.social, the @wgaeast.bsky.social, and others who have rung alarm bells at the proposed Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros. will treat this hostile takeover bid from Paramount as at least as much of a threat.
