    I’m old enough to remember when degrowth was a fringe movement on the left. But at least we’re at three or four dolls, up from 2.

        Again, as a husband of someone who loves to buy yet another toy or box of crayons when we have more than a surplus already... I very much welcome Trump's perspective on over consumption and border line hoarding. That being said, clearing out clutter isn't exactly my recommendation for economic policy.

          At the level given, it does smack of statist micromanagement.

            This is so obvious. What are the magats thinking.

            WSJ: “If other countries imposed reciprocal tariffs, it could devastate Hollywood studios…The U.S. movie industry had a $15.3 billion trade surplus in 2023 and generated a positive balance of trade with every major foreign market.

              As Trump said in the interview yesterday (seriously) when asked if he takes responsibility for the economy, "The bad parts are Biden's economy, the good parts are Trump's economy." Not a surprise, but wow.

                    It certainly does. Also rather of flailing.

                        Fjord Motors? Sounds European. I only care about American car companies.

                        Education is extremely important.

                          There's a man who pronounces the 't' in Chevrolet, so that it rhymes with toilet.

                          I was only joking

                            You know, if all of these other places would just become a part of the US, there wouldn’t be any more tariffs. Problem solved.
