1 month agoCan someone more knowledgeable about politics than me please tell me how 1 person can just slap on tarifs willy-nilly?
Shouldn’t things like this have to go through some sort of vote in congress?
Could the US president just call up all CEOs that use steel and be like: “gonna need some donations or I’ll put some tarifs on any imported steel”?
If everything I see in the news all the time makes me feel like the world is shit, well that’s just unhealthy.
So I’ve subscribed to some good news channels on YouTube, and I try to limit the amount of bad news that I digest.
Staying informed of what’s going on in the world is great, but not if it comes at the price of your sanity.
So read some good news, write a list of things you’re grateful for, take a walk in a park, meditate in the sun a bit, and remember that overall people are kind (free open source software exists, volunteering exists, food banks exist, etc).
