News: How Steel Tariffs Create Jobs

Shouldnot do the DEA a raid on the WH, or have they been DOGE'd into oblivion too?

 

You just didnot walk enough barefooted to develop heat resistent calluses on the sole of your feet.

It will be interesting to see the list of concessions the UK will make to Washington - one of the consequences of Brexit (lack of leverage). Even Canada keeps passing on making a trade deal with them...

 

Remember these?

 

Looks like we're much harder to "break" then Trump realized. We'll be fine

 

I walk by two of these on my way to work.

Note the present tense.

 

It must drive economists bonkers that we learned nearly a hundred years ago that tariffs are bad policy, and yet here we are.

But economists all suck so they deserve it, unlike epidemiologists and climate scientists, so ******** economists.

 

I can't help but admit that I'm a little curious how enacting discredited economic policies from a century ago is going to affect a modern economic dynamo, in the same way that I'd be curious what would happen if they released a live Wooly Mammoth into a Six Flags Wild Safari.

 

I can answer that one. It would die immediately-- the composition of the air is way way different from that it evolved breathing.

We know that from ice cores from way deep down.

 

Trump really wants to go all in on mercantilism but he can't spell it.

 

What? Really? I find that hard to believe, the last mammoths died a couple of thousands years ago.

 

Is the 02 concentration so much lower than it was when the ancient Egyptians were around?

 

4000 years is a couple of thousand years (though thou shall not count beyond three!). The pyramids were built at that time.

 

The OG Pyramids!

Well, I guess it depends where you'd drop off the oldtimers. In the Antarctic they might die of the cold in the air, in the Amazon because of the humidity and in Beijing because of the smog. But I'd guess in general they would be fine. It is not as if people from lightly settled regions of the Earth can't breathe in modern cities or that smoke filled huts were a pleasure to breath in, no matter the era.

If they were behind a modern diesel car, they would praise the lord for the clean air. At least that is what the German auto industry claims.

 

If you're tired of ASMR:

 

I disagree, but mad-rep for the “Well akshually….”

I don’t think they’d survive in the wild at all. Their food and habitat is largely gone. But they could live in a zoo. If the polar bears here survive our 100F+ days, even if they get shuttled into an AC room, then the mammoths could survive.

 

That sounds about right as I don't recall ever seeing one!
