If you hold this view, there’s no inherent value in the established reputation of a publication such as Forbes. Much of today’s popular conservative discourse hinges on both a rejection of and appeal to institutional reputations depending on whether that institution agrees with them.

And even the institutions see they are in a period where they will be uprooted - You can't make an argument of inflation or consumers paying tariffs if the actual dollars and cents they are paying are not changing.

I paid like $400 in tariff fees through FedEx when I ordered specialized custom home gym stuff from an online mom-pop Canadian fabricator in December.

Glad to know Lutwick's sons are gonna get refunded for that on my behalf.

I’m not sure how you’re supposed to have a functioning economy if businesses have to find out their actual cost in real-time like this, nearly a year in.

Do the previously baked in exceptions paid for by the top companies automatically apply or does Trump need to be bribed again?

Mom and pop using global shipping

What you’re telling us is they are just a big drop shipper. Oh they “fabricate”? Meaninf they select one of thousands of available molds? Sophisticated!
 
Life is precious. Which is why in my book life expectancy is worth a whole lot. It should also be noted that longer life expectancy is also correlated with better health outcomes. So not just more life. But also better life.
