  Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick dismissed Buffett’s concerns and falsely claimed tariffs could replace the IRS.

  Whoaaa, that is a whopper of a sidenote.

  Like… WTF. They really do want any excuse for the mega rich to not pay taxes.

      You might want to read a bit more of history to find out what happened to the guys who actually used them.

  “I think Buffett is wrong about how the economy will react” - wow. THAT is a hot take.

  Oh wow, an act of war?

  That's crazy! I can't believe that Canada, with its 250% tariffs on dairy products, 40% tariffs on aluminum, and 25% tariffs on steel before Trump ever entered office, would commit such acts of war against America!!!

  And then there's all the tariffs China has had against the US for all these years! How dare they!!!

  I guess it's time to nuke Beijing and Ottawa. You'd better hit Toronto and Vancouver while you're at it, just to be safe.
