    As former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers wrote on X, “This is to economics what creationism is to biology, astrology is to astronomy, or RFK thought is to vaccine science.” The Trump formula was silly and deceptive, but it was also a perfect expression of his view that trade deficits are evidence that America is being ripped off. The sole reason you would equate a trade deficit with a tariff rate is because you think that trade deficits exist only as a result of trade barriers or other manipulative activity. In fact, that’s exactly how a White House official explained the reasoning: “The model they used is based on the concept that the trade deficit that we have with any given country is the sum of all the unfair trade practices, the sum of all cheating.” And that’s exactly what Trump thinks. So it’s no surprise that, as The Washington Postreported today, Trump personally decided to use that formula, instead of an approach that would have actually targeted high trade barriers.









  • Check out any results for i3 wm use, they’re quite interchangeable.

    Second advice is to check config examples and change or identify your meta key (I think default is ctrl, but I like alt).

    Within the config file you can see many key combos for using Sway, but if you find new terminal, launcher, and workspace navigation (that’s your 1) you should be off to the races.

    I think the above would be shift-meta-return, meta-D, and shift-meta-1,2 (to move a window to a workspace) and meta-1,2,3 (to go to a workspace). But I’m just on my phone and my memory gets mixed up because I have more memory from scrotwm/spectrwm and I might be mixing things up.





  • The best way I could describe Randland (an informal term for The Wheel of Time setting) would be a less dystopian Middle Earth.

    It’s a larger and happier - and even more pure in a non-earthly-religions sense. In a good way. But there’s still world ending conflict, it’s just - incoming controversial opinion - better than Middle Earth.

    It’s a massive world and worth every word read. It’s a lifelong re-read for me, and I don’t even re-read LoTR.

    There is a similarity to Midworld and its relation to Earth in the series, but it would be spoiler-y for me to elaborate.

    It’s very much The Hero’s Tale. Village - Adventure - Save the Cat. But it’s how it should be.

    Edit: the show is not a place to start. Not slagging it, but it’s incomparable to the books. Best experience is the OG audiobooks narrated by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, not Amazons re-recorded rights grab.
