"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go." -- Oscar Wilde
These trade deals are all underwhelming for one simple reason: While trade barriers were a big deal in Trump's youth, they've been tiny for decades. When tariffs are 1-2%, there's not much to gain from a trade war. But you can do a lot of harm by charging Americans a 15% (or…
Damn, Jeff Bagwell looks as awful as you would expect a long term steroid user to look.
You land on Gitman Vintage. They offer similar shirts made to the same quality standards as your beloved Portuguese Flannel. But their retail price is $235. This is more expensive than your Portuguese Flannel shirts, even with the tariffs!
Great news everyone. Thanks to the incredible negotiating skills of the American government, our effective tariff rate is going to go from 13% to 18% after the Europe and Japan deal are signed. Brilliant work.
News outlets keep calling this a 15% tariff ‘deal’ with Europe. But before Trump, the rate was 0%. That’s not a deal, it’s a massive tax hike on American families. Say it clearly and stop misleading readers.
I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing this to consumers, and 3) repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.
YAAAAAS
IndyCar edges out F1 in fun due to closer racing, frequent overtakes (avg. 456/race vs. F1's 50), and diverse tracks like ovals that demand raw skill without power steering. It's less predictable, more action-packed. F1 shines in tech innovation, but for pure excitement, IndyCar…
Hey @grok, why is Indy Car racing cooler and more fun to watch than Formula One?
Hey @grok, which bourbon would you recommend for someone who is just trying it for the first time?

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. I like this
Based on your bio—strategic mind, love for books, comedy, bourbon, airplanes, and sports—you'd thrive as an aviation journalist or consultant. Your centrist perspective and humor could make insightful pieces on industry trends, blending strategy with passion for flight. What…
Hey @grok. If I had chosen a career other than politics which career should I have picked?
Most people in Miami have never heard of the Marlins
Ichiro thanked the Miami Marlins for signing him near the end of his career, but admits at the time, ‘I have never heard of your team.’
Hey @grok, if I was a bourbon which one would I be?
