I enjoy the Rest Is Politics podcast (the original UK version) for a civilised, nuanced discussion by two highly experienced and eloquent political frenemies about current events.

If anything, I feel like US currently is a warning sign of things to come for the rest of the Western world. I feel bad for my American friends, but I can only hope that this weird political experiment ends up badly enough that other countries take note and avoid going down the same route.

Hopefully it will be like our own homebrewed shitstorm, Brexit. I thank Brits for their service in fucking up so massively that hardly anyone still within the EU talks about leaving the EU anymore.

I dont care whether it’s big or small, if it’s a US business I’d rather shop elsewhere. Voting with our wallets is pretty much the only option for a normal EU citizen to show what we think of this current shitshow.

And you know what, I want the businesses in the US to feel the effect of those tariffs. They voted for them, I sure as hell am not going to stop them from enjoying the consequences.
