seen a thesis/opinion that the tariffs as positioned is a covert solicitation for bribes, a test to see who’ll line up to kiss the ring and ask for exceptions

holds some water but I don’t really see how it’s expected to scale internationally? “hope the CEOs beg their national economic leadership”?

the whole damn thing is ofc stupid but (as I’ve said in other cases) shrugging the whole off because of that is dangerous - worth interrogating even despite the stupid, because they still have impact

we're at the "the washing machine without a dateclock is marked millenium-bug safe in its marketing brochures" level of stupid

(that might seem like a stupid comparison but it's one of the things I most viscerally remember seeing from that time (when I was still a youngin who was still largely years away from computertouching))

every so often I think of how Rat-brain is just bleach-dyed "the power of positive thinking" for nerds who don't get out in the world enough

wow, surprisingly 00s in its feeling, nice

I'd agree there, and it might be that that's what they meant, but as you say it still doesn't leave the two things disconnected. didn't see them heading in the direction of amusing debate, however!

(I'd wondered from your past writings how long you'd been looking into this shit, TIL the year!)

sorry, all the mental pretzels were taken up by the other poster a few days ago, you'll have to contort your nonsense yourself. best avoid the history books though, they'll make it really hard for you to achieve what you want
