I don’t even know who this is but when people have this triggered emotional reaction to the mention of Jeffrey Epstein in any context it’s very revealing.

Oakland has a population of 450,000 people. It is blessed with geographic conditions existing almost nowhere else that allow year-round temperatures in the low 70s. It is also, notoriously, a crime ridden hellhole. 90 percent of the crime is committed by about 1200 recidivists. Oakland could make crime vanish by making these people vanish. Into a prison or whatever. Instead, Oakland elects progressive mayors and prosecutors who keep these people on the streets, keep encampments in the parks, provide no remedy for rampant property crime and disorder and keep spending hundreds of thousands of public dollars in social services and criminal justice expenditures every year for each of these individuals who are nothing but detrimental and will never be anything else.

People in power just want things to go back to the way they were before, where China would remain lower in the value chain, obedient to the US. If China won't play ball, fine then displace China with other countries. But there's no desire at all for balanced trade. That would give labor in the US way too much power. Of course at some point labor won't be an issue as AI and robotics take over. Until then use tariffs to buy time, to make people think you're actually trying to balance trade. The spectacle is working.
