When Noel said they peaked at Knebworth I think he is referring to this moment

NordSpace. Maritime Launch Services. Roshel. Xanadu. Chances are, many Canadians haven’t heard of those companies. Meanwhile, everyone has heard about the struggles of The Bay, Zellers, Blackberry, and others. Yet, the four companies listed at the outset will be far more…

GOP in 2010: Stop the socialists! GOP in 2025: The conveniences of modern life are overrated. We will reorder the economy and redistribute wealth. Your losses are a small sacrifice for the glory of the nation!

Tariffs aren't new—neither is the misguided notion of "reciprocal" ones. Milton Friedman cut through this fallacy with clarity: When other nations restrict trade, they harm their own citizens. When we respond with our own tariffs, we merely punish our citizens, too. After all,…

First declare a fake “emergency.” Then announce “reciprocal tariffs,” using a nonsensical metric. Then hand out subsidies to benefactors harmed by the tariffs. Then blame companies for the economic malaise the government caused and impose price controls. This is the playbook.

The core paradox of Trump's tariff fetish is his inability to clarify whether he likes tariffs as an end unto themselves, or sees them as a tragedy that shouldn't exist in an ideal world. He calls them "the most beautiful word" but also frames them as a retaliation to injustice.

🇨🇦 auto jobs have always belonged to 🇨🇦s. We’ve built the auto sector together with the 🇺🇸 over 120 years. I brought WW1-era receipts. Don’t let him lie to you.

This Reagan guy sounds pretty good on tariffs.

Reagan on tariffs... Wow

Manufacturing jobs as percentage of the workforce peaked during World War and have been declining for decades, mostly due to automation (we produce much more with fewer workers). Tariffs will not bring them back any more than they preserved them.
