** TRUMP THREATENS 25% TARIFFS ON ALL MEXICO IMPORTS The US imported $476 billion from Mexico last year - more than any other country A 25 percent tariff on those imports would translate into a roughly $100 billion annual tax — or ~$1 trillion over the next decade

Trump tariffs are going to raise the price of lots of stuff regular people buy. Republicans are going to raise the price of your Walmart or Costco trip and use the extra money you pay for tax cuts for multinational corporations.

This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).

Yeah I see that and it’s a real issue but we also need to be willing to make smart choices at the expense of looking busy in front of people yelling in our replies. . “People have temporarily stopped yelling at me online” is not the same as “the base is satisfied.”

This is absolutely not what I’m suggesting. I am saying that the broad public is not gonna talk about the tax fight which will occur in two to four months three days before Thanksgiving. Not every tactical thing is some high principle or a measure of one’s courage.

Sheesh I’m simply saying most people aren’t ready to focus on this yet and screaming into the void while people are doing other things is wasted energy. I am always working on the things I’m posting about fyi.
Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialNov 25(source)
This is why I’m posting about it. But I’m not gonna start out like I was shot out of a cannon when most people are trying to pull together a meal or travel or clean their place or whatever.

The tax fight next year is going to be an absolute barn burner and it gives our side a perfect opportunity for moral and strategic clarity. They want to raise the price of stuff you buy and use your money to give more to corporations. Let’s keep it simple and let’s fight, after the holidays.

I think we should separate the Rufo project from the legit question of whether we have a higher education industry that may be producing too many four year degrees. I don’t know the answer yet for sure but I know it’s worth the conversation.
