Today is April Fool’s Day, but April Fool’s Day is cancelled. When every day feels like waking up inside an edition of The Onion, there is simply no point.
Tomorrow is Liberation Day, so named because we will finally be liberated from the tyranny of both geopolitical allies and purchasing power. Unless Trump cancels the tariffs again. I’m not an economics major, maybe someone can help me out: is uncertainty good for markets? Do economies generally prosper when people have no idea what things are going to cost tomorrow?
They day after that, though — April 3rd — is this newsletter’s inaugural monthly AMA, and you are cordially invited. It’ll happen at 8:30 PM ET, and you can find it on YouTube. In fact, you can go there now and hit the little “notify me” button and then it will, like. Notify you. When it’s time. After it’s done, it’ll be available for posterity on YouTube and also on here.
I’m committed to doing my part in all this, I’ve got takes ranging from lukewarm to scalding and some might even be good. But it takes two to tango, and I require your questions/comments/concerns for this to work. Here are some options for sending said questions my way:

Srsly though. You challenge some of my beliefs sometimes but your still the writer that I get excited to see in my inbox. Others are either too many or not enough.
Not a particularly important question, but you get around a lot for your work, so what are some highlights of what our country has to offer? Also I'm terribly sorry for Waukesha existing.
