  • 'Sneakflation': how tariffs are gradually raising costs for American consumers

    Jump

  • Most economists I was reading when trump put the tariffs on in April said those would happen as it worked through the supply chain most likely by Q4. He just started and paused it near the start of a month so there lagging data shows favorable. The larger companies had the cash flow to front load incoming inventory and the smaller companies got hit hard. Now that companies have burned through initial stock and tariffs are being figured for a 10-20% baseline instead of being removed completely prices will go up. No company is going to eat that much in additional cost and now that things are set companies will plan accordingly. Aug should see a rise in inflation since tariffs kicked in Aug 4 and you've already seen companies say prices will rise because of tariffs.

  • New BLS head is talking about delaying jobs reporting til they can ensure the data is "safe"...so you know August is about to be brutal. Going to have to check the ADP reports.

  • After uproar, 'South Park' pummels Trump again and hits at JD Vance, Kristi Noem

  • It's an old drama series from the late 70s. Essentially it's an exclusive private island. Guests were granted so-called "fantasies" on the island for a price. JD Vance portrayed as Tattoo. Tattoo would run up the main bell tower to ring the bell and shout De plane! De plane! to announce the arrival of a new set of guests at the beginning of each episode. In later seasons, he arrives in his personal go-kart, sized for him, and recklessly drives to join the host for the visitor reception while the staff scramble out of his way.

    So the parallels between Epstein island and other things lined up so well overall.

  • Vulnerable Republicans Are Claiming They Love Medicaid After Voting to Gut It

  • Weird...it's like a pattern or something with the GOP. They also came out against the infrastructure bill that passed under Biden and then turned around and touted the federal funds to their constituents.

  • Trump Promised to Eliminate Funding to Schools That Don’t Nix DEI Work—But Half of States Aren’t Complying

  • We are well on our way to Techno Fascism. All the richest think the public is stupid and that government should be run like a company with a founder/CEO. Balkanization of states is next probably I'd guess. It's why all of a sudden you see so many R congress members saying they are running for governor. They are being drawn to where they'll have power.

  • The amount of things that kid has done and has already faced like 0 repercussions is just sickening and sad. Really clear a two tier justice system.

  • It's like WWE it's all scripted drama. It's why murkowski and Collins can faint anger and rotate votes for things.

  • Trump told a campaign meeting last year that if it was up to Steven Miller, there would only be 100 million people living in the US – and all of them would look like Miller... So you probably aren't wrong.

  • They speak like toddlers because the majority of Americans literally only read at a 7-8th grade level. That’s why you can’t have any nuance. Messages have to be short, clear and consistent.

  • Super interesting. I wonder if you could ask him where he is leaning this stuff because you wanna learn or something.

  • I wonder where they are getting it. Even scrolling through truth social I haven't seen anything. They are so on message all the time it's crazy

  • Unfortunately people are that dumb if not dumber, but also yes there are tons of chatbots that are sowing anger and division usually in favor of conservatives. Weird how Elon was talking about how many bots are on Twitter and has completely stopped talking about it.

  • The digital countermove to Trump tariffs | America’s mid-air dismantling of the global system of trade represents a one-time chance to compete

    Jump

  • The author keys into some points critically important that most don't think about. America imports more manufactured goods and raw materials than it exports. As the administration has endlessly gone on about. However, it exports more ‘services’ than any country in the world. I think Trump and Lutnick simply are assuming that won't change or come under discussion. Most of these American ‘services’ exports are heavily advantaged in favour of American exporters to the UK and the EU. That’s because these ‘services’ are effectively not taxed, nor regulated. (With a few notable exceptions.) That’s because, in the EU particularly, there has historically been a deference to America—for implied military defense against Russian attack. The Oval office meeting w Zelensky, together with ignoring Denmark re: Greenland, and Canadian 51st state rhetoric has however finally started breaking the wall. Thereby freeing the UK and Europe to trend towards now taxing and regulating such American ‘services’. That will allow UK and EU competing ‘services’ to flourish. Because, essentially, the anti-circumvention laws, besides making certain American billionaires ridiculously rich, mainly serve to inhibit innovation.
