4D Tariffs or TikTok Toe
It’s post-Liberation Day and Yanni’s got thoughts. Will the American worker answer the call and put down the phone, clock in, and start sweating again? Or are we too deep into DoorDash and dopamine? Will foyers be stormed, or will everyone just leave a nasty Yelp review? And hey, what even are tariffs? A little history lesson, a little confusion, and a lot of Yanni touching his big nose between his beady eyes.
