Probably not a good thing that the entire world economy is dependent on one company (Nvidia), right?

the effective tariff rate when all said and done came to about 12%

way less impactful than initially thought

and even if canada's CEOs wanted to de-link from the US, it would take years of intense effort, and would only reduce dependency by 10%

USA and everyone else gonna be just fine fortunately

just gotta try to tune out the orange man's messaging
