They will not have an effect because the CEO's are breaking their necks to rush to the White House to kiss the ring and get exemptions for their particular company - soooo, I don't seen an increase in the price (because of tariffs).

Likely, in the unlikely scenario.

Those tariffs are just bargaining chips for now.

To what end, exactly? 

Unlike Canada, which as a "concession" just presented a plan that had already been in effect for months before Tr*mp took office, which Trump accepted knowing that his disciples would never bother to find out they were lied to (or wouldn't care), China really doesn't give a shit about making Tr*mp look good. 

They're already laughing all the way to the bank: 

Killing USAID has destroyed any good will and good standing the United States had in those many countries where it was active, leaving the door wide open for China to fill in the gap and deepen (trade) relations long-term. 

Et tu, Apple? 

You, of all companies, are full-throttle on the path to enshitification of our digital lives? 



(bad enough that I cannot fucking opt out of those ANNOYING "hey stupid! — upgrade to Sequoia NoW!" popups. I'm a grown man, I'm WELL aware of the first TWENTY NOTICES you've given me. At this point, I probably have a GOOD FUCKING REASON not to have upgraded yet. Leave me the fuck alone.)

Why not just rename it the Gulf de Gringo. That will satisfy Mexico and the US and end the spat over a sill naming of a body of water.   

'Gulf of the Americas'. Everyone wins, not that the current admin would value such.

The MAGA ethic can only "win" if the other side loses. 

That's why the diplomatic community is resigned to treating him like a toddler with a gun. 

But these people get worked up over pronouns to match identity. 

What an embarrassment to humanity.
