Are we at the point now where -- even if you've "committed" to US manufacturing investment on the threat of tariffs -- you're doing the math on just waiting him out? Or hedging the possibility of a policy pendulum swing?
“.. US manufacturing accounted for 11% of GDP before this one-man war on trade began in 2018. By the second quarter of 2025, manufacturing had shrunk to 9.4% of GDP.” 👀

Trump sees unpredictability as some kind of superpower, but realistically it's exactly the opposite. Rather than creating an environment conducive to investment, he makes it so businesses can't rely on any policy to make decisions, because he might change it because someone gave him a phony award.

I've wondered if we're living through a different sort of epistemic closure: not one of the right cocooning itself in participatory nonsense, but rather one of billionaires grown confident that closing on—i.e., purchasing—the means of knowledge production will let them dictate what's real or true.
Trump on the endangerment finding: "This radical rule became the legal foundation for the green new scam. One of the greatest scams in history, maybe even greater than the Russia Russia Russia hoax."
