"the aluminum foil wrapper, subject to a 50 percent tariff … the Mexican tomatoes, carrying their own 17 percent tariff … Aussie beef, which has been tariffed, untariffed, threatened with another tariff and then exempted. The avocados for our guac come tariff-free … and those exemptions appear to be at risk. The cheese and sour cream come from American farms, which are struggling with worker shortages after Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.

That was great! Thanks for the recommendation. Alan Kohler is a national treasure & Justin Wolfers worth listening to; I especially liked his arguments on immigration = innovation (child of 2 immigrants myself) & his positive admiration of Australia. It really is past time to lose, & to stop acting out on that cultural cringe!The frightening thing was his costing of the US Presidency at ~$2b and profitable at that price - since est. that Thump made ~$8b last year (in bribes & corruption, not trades, which are chickenshit by comparison - such a small man). In Australia we need to tighten up the money flow potentials for that to happen here. No one - person or group - should be able to buy a Presidency, PM-ship or Premier-ship.

“Since Donald Trump returned to office, nearly all — 86%, to be precise — of net new payroll jobs have gone to women. What’s more, women now outnumber men in non-farm payroll jobs, making up 50.02% of the total.”

Ted Trainer has made that Boyer lecture useful after all by digging it up, composting it and growing his fine article on the repurposed soil.

Wow, what a fantastic podcast! The plot twist pivot from tariffs to AI ownership was neat.
I only wished they had skipped the 10 min banter intro, because this one needed two hours more.

University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers explains why Donald Trump’s new steel tariffs will backfire—hurting U.S. manufacturing far more than helping it.

Michigan Economics Professor & Senior Fellow #JustinWolfers' observations of Trump policy:
✅ Step 1. Announce arbitrary tariffs for each country
✅ Step 2. When markets crash, pause those tariffs and say they're just leverage for deals
✅ Step 3. Promise deals
✅ Step 4. Fail to make deals
✅ Step 5. Announce arbitrary tariffs for each country
