Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

This is what a high school student told the Granbury ISD school board. Wow.
"I'm not going to sit here and talk about the slippery slope that book banning leads to because I learned from a book, that I checked out from my school's library, that I don't need to resort to logical fallacy to make a point.

a story in 4 parts
1) employment is near an all-time high
2) the economy is bigger than we thought it would be by now before covid
3) inflation-adjusted wages are higher than ever before
4) wages have grown fastest for the poorest workers, undoing 1/3 of the growth in income inequality since reagan
