They have lines of Dear Leader Birthday products, now that they don't need the shelf space for Pride seasonals.

Not very different than "L'État, c'est moi," I suppose.

Plenty of space, no need to cater to LGBT, women, POC.
Only products of importance now are for white straight males.
And honoring Dear Leader of course.

it was all about extortion and grifting. Conventional analysist using conventional arguments within the context of this being, somehow, normal times discussing the tariffs in economic terms is cognitive disconnect at it's most extreme. Like main stream science, they don't like anomalies. They can't be explained in normal terms so, they have to be hide them when they can.

We see a mob boss running a criminal enterprise. The media and public either can't wrap their heads around

When it is the greatest heist in the history of the world.

Tariffs or some other wonderful business friendly policy the administration has put forward

...force big corporations to do things like raise their minimum wage, extend family leave, make their workplaces' safe, pay their fair share in taxes, and ensure the best healthcare for their employees.... Tariff them until they come to the table begging for a deal.
