Stay frosty out there. Don’t worry though this isn’t alarming at all.

None of the world’s indexes are doing well.
It is so weird. The tariffs are so smart and so well thought out yet no one realizes it except for mouth breathing droolers addicted to Fox News. I wonder why that is?

I sometimes look over at Faux news at times like this. Headlines today are mostly about corrupt judges blocking T’s agenda and cities hiding murderous immigrants. Zombie cult that feeds on fear fed by Faux news. The only people concerned about the tariffs are entire rest of the world.

Yes, I have cruised past Fox News and Fox Business aa couple times the past few days. The Business channel has a harder time avoiding the story, of course, with the big ticker flashing in the lower corner, but they’re managing to fill the bucket with lots of sycophants talking about how “stock are on sale” and how it’s good to have this sort of thing every once in a while and why we’re being taken advantage of everywhere, all the time, all at once.
As noted upthread, the News side is managing to discuss it, at least peripherally, amidst the never ending litany of outrages such as a judge somewhere who did something, or a Tesla on fire, and other things as are irrelevant in the world today.
In other news, The New York Times had a small photograph (below the fold) yesterday about the “Hands Off” rallies across the country, and a small story somewhere on page 16, I think. The Post didn’t do much better. To my surprise, the WSJ (digital only) had a much better story.
Locally, our Scripps paper which prides itself on its local coverage had NOTHING local, and carried a USA Today roundup from other cities but buried it in the innards of the Sunday paper. The front page story? The history of the minor league baseball team in Knoxville. Yep, really.
Mrs.Goofy went to the demonstration, and her pictures showed hundreds of people jamming street corners, with cars going by honking in support, and signs galore. Hardly a news story, I guess.
