  • Agreed.

    Doctrow’s suggestion is a good long term approach and definitely something we should have started when Trump first tried to attack our economy.

    But in the short term we also need to react swiftly and in kind. And to focus that response disproportionately on the people and industries that most strongly enable Trump and his supporters.

     

    Working against expanding our markets and suppliers is geography, though. It takes much longer and costs much more to move goods between Canada and Europe/Asia/South America than it does to the US.











  • is brevity no longer the soul of wit??

    Maybe, if that’s your only goal.

    Trying to make any sort of nuanced or subtle point about anything important is pretty much impossible in such an artificially limited format, though.

    Sure, simple political memes can be done in a compact frame, but actually discussing the framework surrounding that meme, or trying to correct a bit of misinformation is not really possible to do under those same limitations of time or character count.
