Good piece on the impact of retaliatory tariffs on specific industries and their geographies in the US, suggesting they're targeted to hurt areas that voted a certain way in this past election. The story also provides links to studies from Brookings and MIT showing similar results. Some pulled quotes: The jobs that could be hit by retaliation are especially concentrated in pockets of the upper Midwest, South and Southeast, including many rural parts of the country that are responsible for producing agricultural goods. It also includes areas that produce coal, oil, car parts and other manufactured products. The message foreign countries are trying to send, he said, is, βYou think you can bully us, well, we can hurt you too. And by the way, we know where it really matters.β Rural parts of the country are once again at risk from retaliation. Agriculture is a major U.S. export and farmers are politically important to Mr. Trump. And rural counties may have one major employer β like a poultry processing plant β that provides a big share of the countyβs jobs, compared with urban or suburban areas that are more diversified. Mark Muro, a senior fellow at Brookings Metro, said that many of the counties affected by retaliation were rural, and βhard red territory.β The geography of Mr. Trumpβs political support, he said, was βno secret to our trade partners.β βTheyβre very cognizant of these industries, the geography of these industries, and how American politics work,β he added. Sharing gift link so you can move your cursor around over counties to see the number of affected jobs and their share of the total in each place. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/03/15/business/economy/tariffs-trump-maps-voters.html?unlocked_article_code=1.4U4.EjUu.clGohPPmoEo_&smid=url-share Top Ten states with the highest share of impacted jobs (4% in Texas):

I listened to the first one and read the full thread of the second, and theyβre both absolutely infuriating. What was most telling was how Rubio commented twice that this whole maddening fever dream about the US economically conquering Canada is based on a disagreement between the Canadian government and the President of the United States, as if he were the entire US government. Maybe Iβm reading too much into it, but just the thought makes me boil inside.

Republican mental gymnastics have gone on far longer than the past 10 years. I'd say they first hopped on the pommel horse with Nixon, and they've only gotten better at it since.

I checked this out on the map, and the rail bridge they're passing over is almost exactly 49 miles SOUTH of where Putin's Palace (Google map link) is located. So, it's within range. -
I guess that means no more high school mascots or productions of The Wizard of Oz.

The Svalbard thing might be an interesting twist if they somehow work in the whole global seed vault thing. @austingirl One thing, though, is that Irving hopped on a train to get out of there, which doesn't seem too realistic for a remote island above the Arctic Circle. "Shuttle" could also mean a private plane.

As wildfire anxiety grows, Austin plans to designate half the city as at risk of fire damage Austin plans to greatly expand the amount of land, and therefore homes, considered at risk of wildfire damage. Council members are scheduled to discuss updating rules surrounding Austinβs WUI, or Wildland-Urban Interface, later this month. This is the area where wilderness and development meet, and where there is a higher risk that a fire burning in a wooded area could jump to homes and businesses. The move would put 71% of the cityβs land parcels in a zone vulnerable to burning should a wildfire break out, according to a presentation in January by the Austin Fire Department. That amounts to about half of all city land, up from 38% a decade ago. The discussion comes as experts have grown increasingly convinced conditions are ripe for Austin to have a devastating wildfire. Summers have grown hotter and droughts more extreme. Austin ranks fifth in the nation on a list of cities with the highest number of homes at risk of being damaged by wildfires. The four cities that rank above Austin are all in California. βWeβre sitting on the edge of a major catastrophic fire,β said Randy Denzer, a former battalion chief with the Austin Fire Department. βThis isnβt too far-fetched.β Old map vs New map Rest of the story: https://www.kut.org/energy-environment/2025-03-13/austin-texas-wildfires-risk-map

It seems their writer room has a finger on the pulse of Austin because that would totally check out based on the past few years.
