A quotation from Adlai Stevenson
The government must be the trustee for the little man because no one else will be. The powerful can usually help themselves — and frequently do.
Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965) American diplomat, statesman
Speech (1955-10-29), “The Crisis in Agriculture,” Democratic Rally, Duluth, MinnesotaMore about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-adlai-ewin…

Damage to American small (and medium) businesses. Not the megacorps.
The dude with the mall kiosk selling phone cases and chargers? He's getting reamed by this, and will likely go out of business, because he brings all his stock in from China in small shipments that have always fallen under the de minimis exemption (which is now toast). He can't compete with having to pay five times as much for shipping and tariffs all of a sudden.
The independent phone-and-laptop repair place? He and his 3 techs are probably twiddling their thumbs a lot soon. Most of the parts they buy to fix your broken screen or charge port come in just like the mall kiosk dude's. A replacement screen that used to cost him $30 plus $5 shipping now suddenly costs $30 plus $15 tariffs plus $20 shipping-and-tariff-collection-and-remittance-and-brokerage-clearance charges. He'll have to double what he charges to replace that screen in your Samsung.
Amazon? Walmart? Best Buy? All the other corporate behemoths? They're not importing in dribs and drabs by post. It won't affect them much at all, except they'll probably increase prices a bit to cover the extra paperwork to clear their shipments at the border, plus a lot more to cover the tariffs.
(Yes, you already knew this. I just wanted to say it.)

A good-tempered antinomianism rather of Dickens’s type is one of the marks of Western popular culture. One sees it in folkstories and comic songs, in dream-figures like Mickey Mouse and Pop-eye the Sailor (both of them variants of Jack the Giant-killer), in the history of working-class Socialism, in the popular protests (always ineffective but not always a sham) against imperialism, in the impulse that makes a jury award excessive damages when a rich man’s car runs over a poor man; it is the feeling that one is always on the side of the underdog, on the side of the weak against the strong.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1939), “Charles Dickens,” sec. 6, Inside the Whale (1940-03-11)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/orwell-george/75272/

You have readers. I used to subscribe to your RSS feed, but haven't been reading much in my browser the last few years, so I'll add it to my #Feeder reader on my phone.
Yes, we want photos of the new digs!
Also of #LittleGuy, if you (and he and Ellen) are OK with online kid pics.
And I must catch up on some of those mainstream media cultural touchstones.
Also, congrats on 7²+1 !

The Little Guy
In the street, I felt spied on... I turned around and saw him… He was smiling at me. :)

Was coming back from bloodwork and while waiting to turn at the light, a hitchhiker jumped on my car and came home with me. I had to drive very carefully so they didn't jump into traffic.

What #BigGuy #LittleGuy nonsense from Mitt #Romney, who says if he were president instead of #Biden, he’d have “immediately pardoned” #Trump!
“ Why? Well, because it makes me, President Biden, the big guy and the person I pardoned a little guy.”
Utterly bankrupt thought. Aren’t we all “little guys” relative to the office of the presidency? None of us would get this kind of consideration. No accountability for Trump?

Whenever I brush my teeth, my tongue is like its own little guy in there, curious about what's going on, exploring and trying to make friends with the tooth brush.
Just a little guy.
