We regret but have to temporary suspend the shipments to USA

Even aside from the advisability of the tariffs -- it turns out there might be a reason that tarrifs haven't usually been imposed with like weeks notice, after months of back and forth, with no real advance implementation planning on the government's part and not enough time or reliable info for anyone else to do so either?

It is very strange to me that the government seems to be going for maximum shock and uncertainty on the US economy. Again, apart from the advisability of the actual tarrifs, they could have been implemented in the usual way to allow people to plan for them (and possibly give feedback on them), but they were not.

If your goal was to see the US recede as the global economic leader you couldn't create a better playbook than the one being done by this administration.

I agree. But why is the US stock market not tanking?!

Largely because of AI hype. We'll see some real consequences once that bubble pops

I'm not sure where to stand on this statement so I can only sit back and watch: I thought we would meet another AI winter ~2015 when we saturated computer vision and classification problems - then things started taking off for a little bit but settled but then things really took off...

You're still likely right as things must always come down but what if it doesn't.
