I don't usually agree with Dilbert, but sometimes I listen to him because he has a business background where I have no expertise, and on politics, well, he analyzes how things are done (who is able to sell you their plans) more than who is winning vs losing, which most short news programs discuss.
With all the Trumpieboy craziness, I tuned in to see if he is worried about tariffs and learned some things.
Such as the Penguin island tariff was not stupid, but because they could be used as the paper address to send things to the US without a tariff, ergo they were put on the list.
He is saying something that I told my son who is worried about his retirement savings:
I had lost money in previous problem with the stock market when Enron fell and the real estate bubble popped, and my retirement bonds included these stocks, but after a year or two my retirement savings went back to normal.
So I am not too worried with this.
of course, if the world collapses, China takes over Luzon, and we get hit by the SMOD, well, as my husband assured me: If I moved with him to the Philippines I'd always have rice to eat (we are farmers).
Speaking of China, another thing Dilbert mentions early in the podcast but doesn't go into detail, is that the future of war is drones.
I wonder how many people know this? I have posted on this in the past.
a little old lady once tole me the secret of not getting old is to learn something new every day.
I do try to keep up with politics, but X also known as twitter is addictive since it gives one an adrenaline rush from pointing out the horror of the day. Heck, that is why I quit Facebook: Too much ain't it awful strawman hysteria.
But longer podcasts take time, and as Dilbert points out: discussion only give one point of view without a critic saying yes but....
