High tariffs are deflationary, not inflationary, because they bring the economy to a screeching halt while everyone tries to figure out what's going on.

Raising children has been by far the most difficult thing we've ever done. It's expensive, infuriating, and often demoralizing. I love my kids more than anything, but to say it's a tragedy not having kids is silly. It's a good decision in a lot of cases.
