1. Almost all of the desserts served only around particular holidays (pumpkin pie, Christmas cake, mooncakes) are not good, or you'd eat them all the time 2. All desserts that existed before the emergence of the international sugar trade should just be consigned to history.
What's your unpopular food opinion that would get you in this situation? 🤔
Maganomics at its core.
kind of funny that josh's argument basically breaks down to: "I think it's in our national interest if we don't tariff the stuff that I personally buy, but we place tariffs on my business competitors." yea, no shit dude. and i wish I had a million dollars to buy a home

I have long said we have a distributional conflicts problem, not a trade problem. We are giving ourselves cancer to deal with the long hair instead of just getting a haircut. We are threatening USD reserve status when we can just send more checks to Mississippi.
It’s jarring to hear extremely thoughtful people cheer for US tariffs, and implore the Europeans to deploy similar policies, because they want their children to grow up to be engineers and not TikTokers. Of course we want that! But tariffs won’t achieve that goal for at least…

Deficits = corporate profits. Buy equities
By 2028 most voters are going to be young “asset-less” people. They will ask for more fiscal deficits and pro-labor policies to close the gap. This will generate a much higher inflation volatility than in the last 20 years. Most portfolios are not prepared for that at all!
The most anticipated liquidity drain from markets is here, with many headlines foreseeing turbulence ahead. Yet, its effects might not deliver the impact many believe. Hidden forces have emerged, acting against a liquidity squeeze. The “Transitory Pause” is here... 1/
