Trump’s New Tariffs on Canada Raise Familiar Legal Risks www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/b... It is always something about the US being exploited by other countries’ unfair policies. Does anyone have a link to data or solid narratives showing this? Just a few examples. Hockey Sticks? #trump #tarriffs
Trump’s Canada Tariffs Rely on Untested Law
The president has invoked a long dormant section of law to hit one of America’s closest allies, a move that has troubled courts in the past.

So, I have just #voted in our general #election. I could easily do it before buying groceries. I mean, at the voting site, I could enter immediately, after parking my bike 6 metres from the entrance. Then, from entrance to exit, voting took me around 3 minutes. Nice #democracy we have.
I try to avoid Windows 11 as long as possible. It made my corporate laptop instantly useless. I have been subjected to #Microsoft’s unwavering Windows update strategy ever since version 3.1 in the early 1990s. From then on, it has been one battle after another. www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

I tried dynamic #pricing on #Ticketmaster this morning. It was not very dynamic: There was a predetermined price distribution, and it never changed as far as I could see. Has anyone tried it where prices actually moved? And why not publish the distribution before? (1/2)

Trump advisor and Fed chair also-ran Hassett wants researchers behind NY Fed paper that reached a conclusion on tariffs that runs against the political views of the administration "disciplined" for their work. Here's the paper: www.reuters.com/world/us/ny-...
NY Fed report says Americans pay for almost all of Trump's tariffs
Americans are shouldering almost all of President Donald Trump’s import tax surge, a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said on Thursday.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8mo agoHassett: "The basic theory of President Trump's tariffs is sure, we're importing stuff from China, but we've got producers in US who make stuff, maybe at alightly higher place. If we bring stuff home, create demand, then that will hurt China & drive up wages & American consumers will be better off."
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4)

Is #Trump ever going to suggest that Americans should stop doing drugs? Are drug problems always a supply side issue?
