Trump's strategy targets three groups:
— Karl Mehta (@karlmehta) April 10, 2025
• Trading partners (10% baseline tariff)
• Neutral countries (sectoral tariffs remain)
• China (punitive 125% tariffs)
"Everything else was a ceiling for negotiations."
These tariffs could reshape global supply chains while generating billions in revenue.

If manufacturing returns:
• Hollowed-out communities revive
• National security improves
• Supply chains become resilient
• American workers gain leverage

Old-fashioned diamonds from the mines are absolutely cooked

Lab-grown diamonds now make up 80% of Gen Z engagement ring sales
Over the last 2 years the industry flipped— These new science diamonds are chemically, microscopically, and visually exactly the same at 1/10th the cost…
Makes sense
