    "Well, yes.

    I just like that they made up the numbers to get an exact negative 1.

    Again, I am a financial columnist, and I have a patriotic appreciation for the US’s export industry of finance, and two of that industry’s most popular products are:

    Sprinkling some Greek letters on your work to add visual interest, and

    Making up parameters to solve for the result you want.

    Even in this tariff announcement, you see the US leaning into its comparative advantage."
