No.
Tariffs can be very useful. Very helpful. And usually are, when applied by intelligent, thoughful, professionals, in specific places, at smart levels.
But not if they're slapped on at wild, ridiculous, juvenile, comical levels, while we're insulting, mocking, threatening and punishing our former friends and trading partners, changing the tariff amounts whenever Trump gets another hair up his ass, fucking with the world's economy and putting American Treasuries -- the single most important security on the planet -- on thin ice.
And now? Now supply chains are freezing up and container ships are floating in place with nowhere to go (that's, uh, bad).
I know that this kind of nuance makes you folks angry.
But it's a fact.
