  1. "Here’s a section of the CBO report that Trump and his courtiers missed:

    'We estimate that the changes in tariffs will reduce the size of the U.S. economy...The increases in tariffs will make consumer goods and capital goods more expensive.'"

  2. Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.

    Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.

    Hi Michael,

I wanted to let you know that, due to recent changes in U.S. customs rules, I’m currently unable to ship orders directly to America. Postal services in many countries have suspended deliveries to the U.S. while they work out how to handle the new requirements, which means I can’t reliably get parcels through at the moment.
