Cearing the Tabs December 31, 2025

Here are some things I've read so far this month or will be reading soon. A lot of people are staying at home looking for things to read, so I've broken this month into two parts again, expect a post on January 15. Also, just because I post something here does not mean I agree with it, it simply means it made me think and I think my readers might enjoy it.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year.

Trump's Tariffs Were Supposed To Cut the Trade Deficit and Boost U.S. Manufacturing. They're Not Working.
For Trump, tariffs are a solution to every problem, and his trade war is more about the vibes than the economics.
