Lyric notes that while it is tempting to view much of China’s actions toward the US through the lens of conspiracy, sometimes the reality is much simpler. Incompetence, human error, fear of superiors… there are often more plausible explanations for seemingly nefarious actions.
With that as a backdrop, we discuss the impact of tariffs on China/US relations, as well as:
• Lyric’s unshakable faith in the United States,
• Optimism for what’s happening today in Washington, DC,
• The pros and cons of USAID,

China has weaponized fentanyl against the United States. You might think of Mexican kingpins as the top of the drug food chain, but everybody works for somebody.

Dr. Lacy Hunt says the US economy is in a “very precarious situation.” Inflation is coming down, but prices are not. New cars and homes cost about 20% more than they did before the pandemic and remain out of reach for people on the middle and lower rungs of the economic ladder. The high cost of food isn’t helping, either.
