  This is very nicely said, explaining relatively briefly why big tech execs and MAGA idiots have, as the article says, shot themselves in the foot by electing the president they did, getting exactly the opposite of what they wanted.  The article includes some swearing, for those w…

  It's hard to overstate the negative impact of these tariffs if they go through. It will require broad price changes that the market likely won't bear. That means companies have to reassess every aspect of their business on a dime. The ripple effects of this are vast.

  So.... is this the better IPO market that VCs kept saying they were waiting for? It's way worse than just the tumult. If investors do begin buying, they now have all these “discounted” shares of known names to choose from. Why buy a new issue? It's 2022 all over again.
