Weekend Wrap-up Aug 9
It’s been a busy week in the world so let’s recap:
Trump’s tariffs kicked in and because new, more expensive inventory needs a chance to work into the system, the massive cost increases won’t be seen for a few weeks/months, much to the delight of the president who just says, “See? Tariffs work.”
Canada and Mexico met to forge new trade agreements, bypassing the US. That’s Canada’s polite way of saying “F#@k you.”
Jim Lovell, one of the Apollo 13 astronauts, passed away at age 97. In the battle of space and time, time wins.
It looks like Vladimir Putin will be meeting with Trump in Alaska sometime next week to discuss Ukraine. Without Ukraine of course. Odds of Putin setting foot on Alaskan soil and having seller’s remorse? Pretty good.
Was there more? There always is.
