it's such a politically savvy play — now that you feel poorer, the prices of everything will blow up!

not only does it have the lowest tariff rates, but the penguins aren't unionized.

you gotta understand. if they hadn’ta cut a deal, they’d have had no shot at a piece of this. from @ddayen.bsky.social prospect.org/economy/2025...
