Trump’s Tariff Gamble: Boosting U.S. Industry or Igniting a Trade War?

These tariffs, alongside a 10% baseline tax on all imports, mark a dramatic restructuring of international commerce and could ignite a broader trade war with economic consequences worldwide.

Le boycott: French customers shun McDonald’s, Coca Cola and Tesla to protest against Trump.
Le Boycott French Customers Reject American Brands Amid Rising Tensions In the bustling streets of Paris American fast food chains like McDonald’s and KFC continue to serve long queues of customers despite a growing call for a boycott of U.S. brands. The movement dubbed "le boycott" has gained traction in response to former U.S President Donald Trump's trade tariffs and his perceived anti-Europe rhetoric. The #BoycottUSA hashtag has gone viral sparking debates about consumer choices and political resistance. The push to shun American products stems from a broader frustration with Trump's aggressive trade policies and his stance on European relations. According to a recent poll featured on the front page of Libération over 60% of French citizens support the boycott with nearly one third actively avoiding American brands. The movement is particularly fueled by concerns over economic sovereignty European unity and resistance to what many view as an increasingly hostile U.S administration. Despite the growing sentiment the boycott faces challenges in practice. Major American franchises such as McDonald’s Coca Cola and Tesla still enjoy significant consumer demand. On Paris’s Grands Boulevards where high end boutiques meet popular fast food chains little evidence of the movement could be seen. French customers particularly teenagers and young adults express frustration at being unable to participate due to economic constraints.

Wake up, Work, Repeat.... Content Warning.
There is one constant thing I remember about my childhood, and that is the adults in my family always saying they 'had' to work but also that they 'hated' work. As a child, I didn't really understand this concept, especially since I was always being taught the idea that if I did great in school and went to college, I would be able to get the job I wanted to have. As I grew up, I realized this was a lie for most people. College was very competitive and did not guarantee anything. The job market was filled with things that I was not taught or warned about - such as quid pro quo, nepotism - and that being a woman instantly gave me a disadvantage.
