My MAGA neighbor five minutes ago: “I just read that tariffs are going to raise prices for stuff. I don’t get it. I thought China was going to pay them.”
I explained how tariffs work. I wish you could see the look on the guy’s face when it sunk in.
So much ignorance out there.

Population Decline is the least thing we should be worried about. Luckily these commentators have it right: nytimes.com/2024/08/24/opini…

Yes another one of these idiotic, fear-mongering articles about "Aging Societies" that do not provide any actual data supporting their claims, nor does @clairemoses mention that population decline is absolutely necessary to prevent ecological collapse.
