🇺🇸THE TARIFF TALES: A DECADE OF US TRADE WARFARE - WHO WON, WHO LOST, WHO GOT AWAY?

In the last decade, the US has wielded tariffs as both a shield and a sword in international trade negotiations, aiming to protect domestic industries and influence global policy.

Dive into the saga of US tariffs as its weapon of choice over the past 10 years, targeting key global players in an attempt to reshape trade dynamics.

Here’s how these chess games of tariffs unfolded:

The US imposed tariffs on billions in Chinese goods in 2018 to address trade imbalances and intellectual property issues.

While it did impact some sectors, China's economy continued to grow, and it retaliated with tariffs on US goods.

This escalation continued into 2019 and beyond as both countries adjusted their tariffs and trade policies in response to each other.

The result was increased costs for American consumers and businesses rather than a significant shift in trade balance.

🧵 THREAD: UNPACKING SPENDING CHOICES IN THE LATEST VERSION OF THE BUDGET BILL

The government just rolled out the updated 2025 Continuing Resolution, and while it keeps things running, some of the spending choices have us scratching our heads.

The 2025 CR is packed with spending that has us wondering: Is this really urgent?

Déjà vu, anyone?

Molasses inspections made it into the cut, and long-term submarine salaries and tree planting don’t feel like immediate crises.

Let’s dive into the most bizarre, questionable, and outright unnecessary expenses tucked into this “emergency” bill....

🧵 1.⁠ ⁠$3 MILLION FOR MOLASSES TESTING

It's baaaccckkk... Yep, molasses.

A whole $3 million is earmarked to verify inspection protocols for molasses at U.S. ports.

They want to ensure it’s the real deal—no additives, no funny business.

Sure, no one wants counterfeit syrup on their pancakes, but in a bill meant to keep the government functioning?

Emergency funds for molasses?

Sweet, but unnecessary.
