I'm taking a momentary break from my blogcation to post this video. Like many readers here, I have been watching with fascination and horror the evolving economic turmoil generated by tariffs [I'll note here in passing that "tariffs" ends with FFS...]
I have been bouncing between reading mainstream media, fringe media, Reddit, The Onion, Facebook, Bloomberg TV, and the esoteric sources I browse to compile this blog. For a while I was fascinated by the somewhat conspiracy-minded proposal that the crashing of the stock market has been intentionally engineered by business oligarchs and billionaires who are encouraging Trump to implement his tariffs and thereby trigger recessionary forces that are already driving down asset prices of commodities and equities, thus setting the stage for their repurchase at bargain-basement prices by those with boatloads of $$$.
Maybe more on that later. But for now I'll just share the short video above. The embed is about 12 minutes long, but if that is to long for the TLDR crowd here, just use the slider to skip to the 6:20 mark to learn the real WTF fact about Trump's decision to use tariffs.
My list of bookmarks of "things to blog" has grown massively in the last couple days, but I'm going to wait to resume writing for TYWKIWDBI until after my taxes are done, the winter garden debris is cleaned up, the Easter season activities are over, and after I decide when to take profits on my index and TSLA put options. Bye for now. And good luck.
