It pays to have friends in high places 🤬

Why did Trump not place tariffs on Russia?

“President #Trump’s tariffs affected almost every economy on the planet, from traditional powerhouses such as #China and Germany to remote Antarctic islands whose only inhabitants are #Penguins.

Even #Ukraine, whose economy has been devastated in the three years since #Russia launched a brutal, all-out invasion, was hit by the minimum tariff rate of 10 per cent.

Yet Russia itself was spared, a move that has raised eyebrows at a time when Trump is trying to improve relations with Moscow.”

Why tiny St-Pierre-Miquelon got hit with sky-high tariffs just for the halibut. “St-Pierre-Miquelon (whose population is about 5,100) exported…US$3.4 million of goods to the U.S. in 2024 … and imported only $100,000 worth. The dollar figures are small but the ratio is gigantic: a 3,300% trade deficit, from Washington’s point of view.”

As well as the obvious, ie. rise in sea level affecting human habitation of landmass soon underwater probably by the end of this century, other inhabitants of our planet have fewer choices of where to live
Modelling suggesting that if we continue on a high greenhouse gas emission trajectory, more than 90 percent of emperor penguin colonies will be all but extinct by the end of the century.

...and then, a triggered #MAGA incel, unwanted unf*cked, entered the chat with a straight face and in all seriousness said that the reason that tariffs were placed on those islands was because there are underground facilities producing something they don't know what from those islands...

I'm getting the feeling there may be people here who prefer #Penguins over #Trump. We need to poll this for science.

Boosts will be massively appreciated!

Trump imposed tariffs on an uninhabited island near Antarctica this week.

Apparently, Trump feels the import of the lower priced penguin shit is unfair to penguin shit farmers here in America.

He went on to say: ‘those penguins have been ripping us off for years’.

Inspiration for my daily #inkyDays drawings mostly come from science, nature, and mathematics. But sometimes it comes from current events, and my need to process them.

So, today, I've made my first attempt to draw penguins in a way that works with my techniques. I'm a little surprised at how cute they turned out, when I was angry while drawing them.

Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on an open page of my sketchbook. The abstract pattern looks a bit like penguins on a curvy line.
