So many people are up in arms over the recent tariffs imposed by the US on Mexico, Canada, and China. Within 1 day, EVERYONE is an expert on tariffs. Everyone except me, that is. Sure, I had economics in high school and college decades ago, but even those with a master’s or Ph.D. in international economics or trade policies doesn’t make one an expert in the field.
As someone who doesn’t have continuous engagement with global trade issues and geopolitical influences (and other essential requirements too numerous to mention) — and because I have zero control over Trump — I can only hope he has advisors who do possess that expertise. All I can do is buckle up — and if you’re reading this, that’s likely all you can do, as well.
I will admit that I about spit out my coffee when I read Trump’s statement this morning that said, “Canada should become our Cherished 51st State.” 😳
Hard to believe, but I don’t have any control over the weather either.
Most of the snow is gone, FINALLY, and temps here in the Ville are forecasted to reach almost 60°.
If you believe Punxsutawney Phil, the most famous groundhog, we’re going to have another 6 weeks of winter. You should know; however, that his success rate is only around 39-40%. I am hoping he’s wrong this year.
Now you know: Punxsutawney Phil has been predicting the arrival of spring since 1887.
