Readit NewsOh agreed Trump has no consistent narrative. However the deals have generally been good for the US.

Given that some (most? all?) of the deals involve US import tariffs, which raise prices/taxes on US consumers, can you illustrate the ways in which they've been generally good? (Especially compared to what the US was doing in December 2024, pre-Trump.)

My fundamental belief: Money doesn't bring happiness, but the lack of it brings unhappiness.
The author of https://ofdollarsanddata.com/ has a new book that has a couple of chapters that go into this:

The research he cites finds that happiness starts levelling out at Levels 3-4 of his framework. Some of his posts on the subject:
Vietnam is one of the first countries to get a trade deal. India will get one when they decide to stop funding the Russian war machine.
> Vietnam is one of the first countries to get a trade deal.
Mexico and Canada also had trade deals, which went from Trump calling it "the largest, most significant, modern, and balanced trade agreement in history":

To Trump asking "Who would ever sign a thing like this?":

Same for Russia and China, who will replace Putin and Xi, I guess the answer is "someone" but I can't imagine it being easy to replace these "kings" without clear successors.

Once heard the idea that this is one of the 'features' of democracies: built-in succession planning.

I use tinydns or nsd
You can use unbound
I do not use a cache
For HTTP I use a localhost-bound TLS forward proxy that has the DNS data in memory; I gather the DNS data in bulk from various sources using various methods; there are no remote DNS queries when I make HTTP requests
Unbound is overkill for how I use DNS on the local network
Unbound is a recursive-only resolver. NSD is an authoritative-only resolver.
Those are different use cases.
The good news is there isn't a backup. There's no room for someone to be a second Trump -- they'd get destroyed as long as Trump is in power. I am hopeful that the party will split into two pieces, forever.

Recently Charlie Rose [1] interviewed Michael Wolff,[2]

who just published his fourth book on Trump, and who labelled Trump sui generis:
> Sui generis (/ˌsuːi ˈʒɛnərɪs/ SOO-ee ZHEN-ər-iss,[1] Classical Latin: [ˈsʊ.iː ˈɡɛnɛrɪs]) is a Latin phrase that means "of its/their own kind" or "in a class by itself", therefore "unique".[2] It denotes an exclusion to the larger system an object is in relation to.

A unique personality that happened to come along at a unique time, and who which probably cannot be replicated.

The only real problem with more widespread AC is it might lead to the short term win long term loss where people build cheaply (without _at least_ 300mm/1ft insulation and triple glass windows etc) and then spend continuously on heating and cooling instead. The simple solution to this in places where AC is banned: allow it only for well insulated buildings. Yes it’s where it’s least needed but it gives incentive to fix the root cause first.
A dew point temperature (~heat index, humidex) would be more meaningful than simple air temperature.
