So we’re apparently backing down to 30% tariffs on China and vice versa for 90 days to have time to make some kind of deal. Futures markets are happy.

Well they backed their reciprocal tariff down from 125% to 30% also. Not clear whether they’ve backed off the rare earths moratorium. I haven’t heard about it so I’m guessing not.
Only non-witches get due process.

It's so typical that when you punch someone in the face, they'll just whine about how much it hurt. They have no idea how predictable and tedious that whining is. It happens almost every time someone gets punched in the face.
