Consequences of Feb 1 Tariffs?

Amerika Uber Alles?

Elon Musk makes a Nazi salute at the coronation and the U.S. media yawns.

And before you say, "But he meant to say that I give you my heart," know that he knew exactly what he was doing. He is not stupid enough to believe that he was just making an awkward motion that was misinterpreted. He was sending a very strong signal to the far right factions around the world that he has been supporting.

We is so screwed. "Never Again," has become, "Why Not Again?" Concentration camps? Mass deportations? Invading other countries to steal their land and resources? Hey, if Putin and Xi can do it, why can't Agent Orange?

Remember the words of Louis Rukeyser: "This country [the U.S.] is so fundamentally strong it can survive its leaders." Dear God, I hope he was right.

I sure wish I could move to Zihuatanejo right now! Some friends are saying that they are hoping to survive the next four years. I bite my lip and say nothing, knowing that the Supreme Court is already cooking up ways to let him stay in power for life, just like his idols, Putin and Xi.
