I pitched my NYT editor that folks really need to understand that the deadweight loss of tariffs rises in the square of the tariff rate. Despite the wonkiness of it all, they said yes--as long as you can explain that intuitively. Lemme know how I did:

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

This is a meme using Klingons from Star Trek The Next Generation mourning a fallen comrade by screaming, it shows economists, historians, and consumers in agony over our dead economy

As a financial planner, today looks like the first time I can say "I have no idea what's happening next!" and no client will argue. Policies that are announced in the morning can radically shift by the afternoon. Buckle up!

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

for those of you playing at home, tesla is trading around 110 times forward earnings. It was trading at a 200 times at the end of last year. That assumes an astronomical growth in profits. Even flat earnings would kill the share price - falls in revenue and profitability would see it totally tank

Peter Dutton always so confident to call on others to resign or be sacked. Now that his own insider trading issue has been revealed I wonder if he will hold himself to the same standard. #auspol

i often think about how eons before cookie monster was conceived, or indeed before there were minds capable of conceiving, cookie monster was already there, waiting

Figure 28. This geode was serendipitously cut at a perfect angle, resulting in halves resembling the famous Cookie Monster (top). Coincidentally, the geode also showed blue fluorescence under long-wave ultraviolet light, reminiscent of teh character's blue fur (bottom). Photos by Robert Weldon: courtesy of Mike Bowers.

I love Columbo...trying to explain him to my kids...might have to force them to watch a couple of seasons. I love the space stuff Musk does, he is probably really good at that. I always find it odd when people are good at one thing, then think they would be good at everything - like public policy.

Ok...minor issue... what are our thoughts on the Village People??? I don't want have to listen to alternative versions. Very confused, always saw the Village people having an anti Trump vibe, you know, fun, liberating and a bit silly.
