The guy Trump is proposing for Treasury Secretary (I think) had a bit on the effects of tariffs at the individual US household level. He projected something like $30K per year INCREASE in disposable income as a result of increased GDP and decreased tax burden.
Zeihan has some good international takes and some absolutely terrible domestic takes.
Very much trapped in an existing zeitgeist but he's very eloquent in his illustrations of it.
If anything i like listening to him not because I think he's right but because it's a window into the thinking happening in that demographic of DC/Beltway.
I know they're healthy and all, but there are plenty of other healthy things that have actual flavor and aren't yuppy foods. I can't do the avocado toast thing, man. I just can't.
They're good for you. Good system lube. I eat a lot of guac, but I also like them diced up in some soups and on salad. They also save some half assed efforts at assembling a lunch.
Peter is full of shit 40 or 50 percent of the time, but he's been on the forefront of demographics for a long time and the challenge this poses for the Childless Cat Lady countries. I still enjoy his shit takes.
It's not that hard. We? don't actually have free trade. Not even within NAFTA. We have given others free access to our markets while getting restricted access to theirs in return.
This comes out of a post WW2 paradigm of rebuilding the first world and industrializing the 3rd world. Again, zeitgeist.
Americans subsidized all of that growth. Why are we still paying for that?
That time has long since passed. Free trade is a carrot and tariffs are the stick. Remove all protection ism and we can talk free trade but until then it will be fair trade instead.
Which is basically plagiarisms of Zeihan's shit. Free trade wasn't about economic benefit to the US, but rather propping up allies we needed during the Cold War. A "bribe" as he calls it to be on our team.
Nobody, and I mean no fucking body, loves the smell of his own farts like Peter Zeihan. Bro is so far up his own ass, he needs a belly button window. His stuff on international demographics is very interesting. His takes on America are mostly retarded. I watch most of the stuff he posts on YouTube, but some of it is hard to watch. He’s a smart guy, but he’s not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.

You can come join me on the Peter Zeihan higher level discussion board!
I have good luck with Costco avocados.
Also, I can imagine a better food to put in one's belly than avocados. I'm always making some fruity guy avocado toast.

Will try to find it.

Oh…is this still about avocados?

Bitchin' Camaros and avocado toast just don't work together. But I drive around in a Audi wagon a lot of the time.

They are great on so many things- e.g., toast, soup, salads, tacos, etc.
It's one of nature's most perfect fuels.
When I get chipotle I have to choose…guac or sour cream +cheese
Sour cream + cheese is a better combo but everyone in line thinks I’m poor
I don't trust those fucks to make guac. I get the sour cream and cheese too.
