I don't understand #tariffs well enough to comment. But when the #AmericanEnterpriseInstitute, a #conservative think-tank that focuses on #economic policy, says #Trump 's approach is wrong, I believe it. #AEI has supported many #Republican policies in the past, so it's a big deal for them to criticize him. https://www.aei.org/economics/president-trumps-tariff-formula-makes-no-economic-sense-its-also-based-on-an-error/

If other #carmakers make similar moves, the #economic impact could be severe, leading to higher #car #prices & widespread #layoffs. The #tariffs on #cars are among the first of several industry-specific levies that #Trump has in his sights & could offer early clues about how businesses will respond to his #trade policies, including whether they raise #prices or increase manufacturing in the US. Trump also wants to #tax the imports of #medicines & #ComputerChips.
Chatting with #DeepSeek #AI about #resisting & #surviving the #Fascist #Authoritarian Oligarchy of #America again.
This time I'm asking it how to #weaponize the #stock market against the #oligarchy while also making a profit/surviving the inevitable #economic #crash of the US. #Puts for #META & #Tesla it is

He won’t do it. Just more #market manipulation.
#Trump awaits #China response before 104% #tariffs hit
Trump said on Tuesday he is waiting to hear from China before duties of more than 100% take effect, in a sign that he might be open to last-minute negotiations with the world's No. 2 #economic #power.

How Much Will Trump’s #Tariffs Cost #US Importers?
As companies and consumers will largely bear the higher cost of importing goods, Mr. Trump’s trade policies could come with a large #economic toll. Consumer sentiment has begun to fall, inflation is expected to rise, and global stocks have been plunging. Even Mr. Trump has suggested that his policies could cause a recession.
Nevertheless, Mr. Trump suggested on Wednesday that more trade actions could follow.

The New York Times · How Much Will Trump’s Tariffs Cost U.S. Importers?
#Economic and #geopolitical analysts are not usually the greatest communicators. And this guy isn’t exactly stellar either, but his explanation of the #US #tariffs issues, what Trump's foreign policy stances have done to the US, and the cascading effects of both are really clearly laid out in an understandable way. It’s not the most thrilling of watches, but you’ll end up understanding it much better.

US & UK 1980s was stage 1 of the squeeze out. We're now in stage 4, where the middle class are the only asset holders left that the owner (upper?) class can squeeze.
Once there's nothing left of middle class assets, and they're not even creditworthy any more, the only remaining method of squeeze-out left to the upper class is stage 5 - war against each other for assets. This is basically pre-WW2 history returning.

After delivering a potted #economic history of the country in which he bizarrely claimed that the #GreatDepression would have been avoided if high tariffs had been in place, #Trump announced that “reciprocal tariffs” would go into effect on April 9th, w/rates of 34% on goods imported from #China, 24% on #Japan, & 20% on the #EU. Some of the highest rates were reserved for export-led developing countries in #Asia: 46% on #Vietnam, 48% on #Laos, & 49% on #Cambodia.

Podcast #22 is out
In this episode Rashid Gabdulkhakov and Yelena Kilina meet with Dina Sharipova and Alma Kudebayeva to compare #Kazakhstan and #Kyrgyzstan but also #Uzbekistan in a chat about subjective #wellbeing and how people evaluate their lives across #economic #social #political and #cognitive dimensions. One key aspect is the perception of the level of #freedom which often differs from the actual state of freedom.

The #Norwegian #chocolate maker #Freia coming out with 100g chocolate plates as an alternative to the traditional 200g plate is probably one of the weirdest #economic indications you never thought about.
#Norway is struggling... well, ordinary Norwegians are struggling. The #oligarchs are good, as per usual.

#Arctic #warming could pose a threat to America’s #security too: #Alaska may have new vulnerabilities to both #China & #Russia; changes in #ocean salinity & temp might interfere w/ #submarine detection systems; extremes of climate change, including #permafrost thaw in Russia, may drive #economic #instability, social #unrest, & territorial claims.

A new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the #IsleofMan and #Liverpool City Region aims to strengthen #economic, cultural, and political ties. The agreement focuses on areas such as business, #tourism, #transport, #health, #energy, and public services. The regions share a long history, enhanced by the opening of a new Isle of Man #ferry terminal in Liverpool, which generated £3.2m for the local economy. This MoU is seen as a significant step towards fostering growth and development through increased collaboration. Both Mayor Steve Rotheram and Isle of Man Chief Minister Alfred Cannan highlighted the importance of closer economic ties and mutual benefits. The agreement also includes an annual conference, alternating between the two regions, and will be reviewed regularly to expand cooperation. With strong business links, including £2bn of annual trade, the partnership aims to open new opportunities for innovation, investment, and community development.
