Levers are just as absurd, as Archimedes points out: give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.

It's depressing how many people go through life with an "I don't see the problem, *I'm* not a witch" attitude

Thank you, Randall. The state of things is not sane and we all need to be speaking up. Bravo.

@rtreborb: if Christ is really your all, you might want to think deeply about Matthew 7:23. Randall Monroe isn’t the one who’s drifted away from his values.

I know, don't feed the trolls and all. But not knowing anything about this case I went and read the Wikipedia page and there seems to be no evidence, or even really any suggestion, that she was doing anything other than advocating for peace. But as others have pointed out, even if she was doing something wrong she deserves due process like the rest of us.

When you worry that you're missing out on something by not making both choices simultaneously by quantum superposition, that's called phomo.

Tariffs

Incorrect analogy – More like;
1) You want a pizza made from another region.
2) However, you must sell them some your ingredients before it can be made.
3) They charge a “tariff” to protect the income of their local farmer’s for other ingredients. You’re willing to pay the “tariff” because you like your ingredients better.
4) The pizza maker sells you the final pizza with a standard sales tax but no tariff
5) You paid the higher price and they made money from the tariff.

Trump is charging tariffs to increase the costs from other regions for several reasons. A) To negotiate down tariffs from other regions. B) Lower tariffs mean you pay a lower cost for your special pizza. C) To whittle down our regions deficit. D) and/or To increase local “ingredients” growth at lower cost for you.

The analogy Randall posted was perfect. It’s based on that ridiculous chart the president displayed showing “tariff” rates all over the world allegedly imposed on the US. It was not, in fact, the average import duty charged, or any number even tangentially related to it, like indirect tariffs through subsidy. Instead, it was ( Trade Deficit / Import Value ) This produces a number that has nothing whatsoever to do with tariffs at all. Let’s say NowhereStan exports $1B of gold every year to the US, but gets all their material needs supplied by LocalRepublic, except for $1M a year of US bourbon, imported duty-free.In the real world, the tariff imposed by NowhereStan on the US is 0%. Using Trump Math, it’s 99.9%. This “We just don’t happen make to something the other party wants to buy, so we should punish them for it.” is what the strip is making fun of, not the general concept of tariffs.

You (someone in the US) wants a pizza with ground beef on it. However, the US doesn't have enough cattle to meet demand for ground beef (true fact), so the US imports extra beef to meet demand. You (the person wanting the pizza with ground beef), pay an extra tax because the beef on your pizza was imported. The producer of the beef does not pay the tax. The importer of the beef pays the tax and passes it along the supply chain until you eventually pay for it. Now you're being taxed extra because the US Government (Trump) wants to claim it's being tough on the world while completely failing to understand how economies and tarrifs work. Tarrifs in the end make things more expensive for end users. How much extra is your car, computer, phone, clothing, shoes, medicine and food going to cost you?

Explains with stick figures, XKCD goes to the heart of the matter of tariffs and STILL manages to make a joke!

The line break after "The President is mad" is absolutely perfect and frankly the sentence could have ended there just fine.
