Yes, a duty is a tariff but we normally impose them on imports, not exports.

Fair question. Possibilities (not probabilities): an Nvidia competitor barred from selling into China because it wouldn't agree to the tax? A buyer of Nvidia chips priced higher than they otherwise would be because of the tax?

The constitution says "No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State." How does that square with Trump's demand that Nvidia pay 15% of its China sales to the government?

This is a serious question, btw. Is it not a tax if we make you say you agreed to it? Is there some exception?

Agreed. They are no longer even particularly good indicators of how a company is doing. Stocks are mostly a way for rich people to build and store wealth largely tax-free

That immigration offenses are not "crimes", but you can be effectively incarcerated indefinitely doesn't pass the sniff test.

I’m old enough to remember when the US economy under Biden was the strongest in the world. In 10 months 🍊Mussolini destroyed it.

The fact that the US stock market hasn't collapsed under the weight of Trump's various lunacies shouldn't obscure the fact that most of the world is doing better than we are

A Great Year for US Stocks? Not Compared With Rest of the World
Check a ranking of the best-performing equity indexes this year and the US doesn’t crack the Top 10. You won’t find it in the Top 25, either. Double that, and the S&P 500 is still absent.

ICE is the living embodiment of the famous Stanford Prison Experiment. Give people uniforms, weapons, and mirrored sunglasses to promote anonymity and a sense of power. They quickly become sadistic and abusive.

ICE masks = mirrored sunglasses. Psych experiment come to terrible life, and validated.

I'm pretty sure the issue was finally resolved when they let people be sent to South Sudan to be tortured and killed in violation of a court order. I'm sure it will be great comfort to their families to know that the Court might eventually bother to decide whether it was right to do so

92% of the growth in the entire country this year has been data centers. And some of that is "circular deals" that dont involve actual money

The crash is going to be brutal when it comes.

Robinhood says "it might offer "tokenized" equity in OpenAI. By "tokenized," Business Insider reports, Robinhood means "blockchain-enabled representations of securities like stocks." In reality, they have no connection to OpenAI equity whatsoever."

Very sorry to see them abandoning their users to align with Trump
