Tales of Tariffs
Published on 3 April 2025

TARIFFS!
My regular news feed screams like it’s something I should be deeply, personally invested in.
So I try another.
TARIFFS – THE WORLD IS DOOMED!
Right. I flip to a third.
10% – TRUMP KILLS THE ECONOMY!
Blimey.
So I turn inwards, wander the long grass of my own thoughts, and go looking for any feelings about tariffs.
Nothing. Not even a rustle.
There are plenty of other things in that long grass, though. Like whether our grocery delivery will arrive before I run out of coffee. Or why loo rolls always start with a yard of useless glued-on paper before they become functional.
These are proper concerns.
But tariffs?
I wasn’t even sure how to spell it. Two Fs? One R? Who knows.
