Tariffs

Tariffs instituted by the “Orange Bad Man” administration on April 2nd (read: “Liberation Day”) are now conclusive evidence that what has been transpiring in the past few months is a total “clown show.” There’s no need to regurgitate all of the evidence that prove the tariffs are based on “quack science.” Just know that what is happening now is Facism at its worst.

The same could be said of the Ukraine “negotiations.” The Russian side is simply being polite and listening to the ridiculous platitudes (and threats) offered by the same “clown show” administration. Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin is not going to agree to any bullshit resembling the bogus Minsk Agreement. End of story.

Anyway, there’s no telling what will happen when the tariffs are in place. So, at this point in time, there will be no divestiture of any possessions, useless or otherwise. The technology “toys” will continue functioning under the new longevity regime with specific mitigations to extend useful life.

Another illin’ event commenced on Thursday. The outward symptoms have been extremely mild so far. The “common cold” is the most likely prognosis. Unfortunately, the body is undergoing extreme duress to combat the illness … sleep deprivation, high resting and sleep heart rates, headaches, hot flashes, dementia, muscle cramps, skipped heartbeats, along with unbelievable amounts of aches and pains.

Addendum: Gym workouts were adjusted to reflect the physical limitations imposed by the illin’ event.

Postscript: There numerous news reports about Apple® Store outlets in empire being mobbed by people who are desperate to purchase iPhones before the tariffs take effect. Yeah, iPhones. Why not stock up on cans of Bush’s® baked beans instead? Fools!
