If you get investing returns (like from shorting those companies)… you’re ironically not eligible to use the IRS direct file pilot (or at least for this year).

Repeating “tariffs never work” doesn’t make it any more true. America was founded and developed industry by using a combination of tariffs and free real estate (stolen land) to fund development of the internal US economy. And it worked. Same with Canada’s National Policy in the 1800s.

Are the Haitians still paying the French for their slave debt or do they still have another century?
Didn’t one of the Belgian kings do a bunch of slavery (I think the euphemism used is “forced labor”) in the Congo up until the 1960s? Like some real vile shit like chopping off hands of people who weren’t productive enough?
