Notes From The Circus

Two plus two equals four. There are twenty-four hours in a day. And those who used their economic credibility to dismiss legitimate concerns about tariffs and trade wars should not be granted the same credibility when those concerns prove justified.

The center must be held—not because it is easy, but because it is ours to hold. And holding it requires not just asserting truth in the face of power, but demanding accountability from those whose claimed expertise enabled that power.

The market has rendered its verdict. Reality has spoken. The question now is whether our discourse will reflect it—or whether the silence of the corrected will be allowed to pass without consequence.
