And a flyover with a crop duster.

So because normal urges are repressed, people feel guilty, angry and start doing more if it.

Reminds me of how some of the most rabid anti-gay activists are caught pants down with another boy.

Rumour going around the tariffs would be delayed 90 days gave positive vibes. That rumour is already discredited though.

Yep. It's giving some flashbacks to 2008 financial crisis. It'll take some time, maybe years, before everything recovers. And that's if Trump isn't doing his best to make it worse.

A number of places have a time limit. It's all you can eat in 3 hours. There can be rules that you have to eat what you take, and when you take entire plates but barely touch them, the restaurant gets a bit annoyed.

From a European perspective, USA only had a right and far right party. Anything on the left side was killed long time ago.

Anybody tried a steam deck with dock? Gaming and casual desktop should be doable with that.

Not that historica, so far it seems to imitate the 2008 financial crisis crash. But yeah, the financial system almost died then. With Trump, the whole global economic system could very well end in the wood chipper.

To be fair, tariffs can be implemented in a clean surgical way or start tiny and slowly ramp up so everybody can adjust and anticipate. Tariffs can be used like a feather to tickle the market. Trump is using the whole chicken coup and throwing them in other people's faces.
