"negotiators believed they had secured a 10% tariff on exports to the US, a key market for Swiss products such as luxury watches, jewellery and chocolate"
- So it's problems just for rich people. Chocolate was already unaffordable.

SF Challenge!
The living-room was friendly and comfortable. One wall was transparent; below the house stretched the city of Berlin clustered round the A.G. Chemie Hill, a towering cone, black against the night sky. Bits of light drifted in the gloom--surface cars dancing like sparks in the shadows.
It had been months since Vanessa's kicking the door. The swelling in her toe had gone down within a week. Or so. Surely this sparking pain, these lumps, weren't part of it? They were easily an inch away...
She gritted her teeth and poked a sharp needle into the swollen tissue...
It's almost as if, when each new Cabinet is appointed, on DAY 1 a committee of those who must be obeyed gives each of them a list of instructions as to who not to tax. What a crazy idea...

Heβs slapping us with massive taxes disguised as tariffs, all to gaslight his base into thinking foreign countries are footing the bill. Prices have gone up across the boardβfrom gas to groceries. This economy is sliding downhill, and itβs only going to get worse.

And every year I say to myself, "No. Rich cunts still call the shots."
I've seen no reason to change my opinion yet.
Fortunately, I actually live in a socialist country.
The real mystery is why you have such a defective type of government that can actually happen.
