Donald I, emperor of the world.

If the US is levying tarrifs on pretty much the rest of the world, and vice versa, but the rest of the world isn't doing it to each other, is it really an "international trade war"?

There was a really intersting slide shown in a JP Morgan presentation yesterday about the birth and death rates in the US. Deaths will overtake births in the next 10 years, meaning that without immigration the population of the US will shrink, which has quite profound implications for their economy.

We are already seeing restrictions on women controlling their own bodies; I expect to see a drive towards "replenishing the earth" with (white?) families having six or more children.

They’ll need lots of people to drill for oil, help put fires out, rebuilt cities that get flattened by hurricanes, and save people from floods.

Also, spares to cover mass deaths from disease, famine and war.
Happy begetting.

Exactly that. Remembering, of course that Musk's 'Tesla Robot' was a guy in a costume.

Ah, that's what this AI thing is that Starmer keeps wittering about.

Looks like Musk has gone then, like a bold and potent fart. Unwanted and unavoidable... Even that dissipates after a while.

Differential rates it is. The UK escaped with the minimum 10% for general imports into the US, along with a handful of others such as Brazil. Clearly we'd rather not have any, but our substantial services exports will not be affected (over 2/3rds of our exports to the US are services).

Also, given that the EU has been slapped with 20% tariffs, this is starting to look like a Brexit bonus.
