  Mr Feldman is not an economist. He's a professor of constitutional law.

  I watched the Economist video. It's quite a good explainer of the theory of tariffs as a long-term benefit to the USA. In the meantime, however, Trump is inflicting massive misery on the...

  Well another serious economist, Noah Feldman, is the guy I got the video link from, so there! Anyway, I'm tired of playing this dumb game, either watch it or not, it's no skin off my ass.

  I know it because people like Council of Economic Advisors Chairman Stephen Miran and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have articulated their points about global trade and geopolitics in various...

  Again, the point is there are *no goals*. Tomorrow I'll link to another famous economist -- Adam Tooze -- who goes into great detail, saying the same thing about another one of duty supposed...

  I'm talking about him; not maga. And, anyway, most magats would murder their children if he asked him them to do it. If you can't see that this is a classic cult, where ONLY...

  And then it turns out there are answers.

  How do you know this ? Because people from an institute -- Quincy -- whose whole raison d'etre is to undo American geopolitical...

  I'm aware of the tariff terror. None of this intersects with why Trump is doing this, why Trump is deliberately shooting an ostensibly good economy in the face. To understand that you'd...

  Yes I read all that. I knew about that this morning. Then I asked myself, gee, why is this happening? And then it turns out there are answers! Some of the people in Trump's cabinet have very...

  The time it took you to compose that post, you could've watched 3 minutes of the video and realized that it's authority is sound. Instead we're gonna waste our ever so valuable time...

  Neither do I. It's all in the damn video, which you can't bring yourself to watch. It's a phd economist channel not some joe rogan nonsense but okee dokee. It's not even saying...

  > to what they actually have in mind, That's the whole point: THEY HAVE NOTHING IN MIND. There's no there there, and there's no 'mind' there. It's a fucking cult that will drink cyanide if their...
