If it wasn’t so utterly destructive, I’ld take some popcorn and go watch for global economists reactions.

People had been expecting #Trump to announce high #tariffs, but these numbers are stunning. In addition to a 10% tariff on ALL COUNTRIES, dozens of other countries face extra tariffs between 10 & 50%. That will force some manufacturing back into the US, but will also definitely raise costs for American #consumers & #manufacturers & incite #TradeWars on many fronts.

“There’s a reason this came at 4 PM ET, with #markets closed,” said Jorn Fleck, senior director with the Europe Center at the Atlantic Council.

He said the #tariff on the #EU, his area of expertise, is a “very high number” that will be painful for #consumers & #businesses on both sides of the Atlantic.

#Trump claims that the price #eggs have gone down under his watch after an outbreak of #BirdFlu. But economists warn that #tariffs of the kind that Trump is pursuing are likely to lead to much higher #prices for #consumers. The big question is whether that will translate to persistently higher #inflation.

We've all known this was the future. That's why I promote local #AI. It's time for #consumers, as well as small to mid level #businesses, to ween ourselves off #BigTech, because if we don't we'll see a kind of centralized power that we've never seen before.

Acedemia should reach #AGI first, but as we see these companies have also hollowed out universities for talent as well - only for them to be fired in the future? Nuts.
