But perhaps the 2021-2 Democrat-controlled congress could have taken back some of its tariff-levying powers? After 2017-2020, they could have decided it wasn't wise to give up one of Congress's core Article 1 authorities to the President? 1210819

Stanton McCaffery (Roger Nokes) @smccaffery.bsky.social · 20/03/2025The problem with our idea of self-care is that it adds one more thing to the already burdened realm of personal responsibility, giving an out to employers and policy makers when we should be creating systems and cultures that are just less taxing on our minds and bodies. 000
