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.

Count John Stossel, boomer conservative, in with those who don't think the tariffs are a good idea. The set of people who like them remains limited to Trump and exactly two of his advisors.
