  • The importer buys in large quantities so the landed price is lower hence lower tariff bill.

    as much as tariffs are a comically bad self-own, I’d actually be happy if this means even a fractional decrease in Temu’s non-stop generation of landfill waste.

    Heh. Tariffs will result in more poor qualtiy goods, not less.

  • When there was an outbreak of cholera in London in the 18th century, leading physicians of the time came up with the idea that sewerage was creating a "deadly miasma" and advised people to move to the country. This of course simply spread the outbreak to the rural areas where it was even more deadly.

    The London sewerage system was created to deal with miasma, it wasn't until late in the 19th century that it was discovered that cholera was spread from contaminated water supplies.

  • Its usually the opposite, for wage earners buying power increases during a recession and falls during a boom.

    But economists aren't concerned with that, they looks at all incomes in aggregate, and during a recession fewer people are employed and work less hours so the aggregate fiscal demand from incomes is lower.

  • Switched telephone networks run on lead-acid batteries, they will last for a few days without power.

    Hospitals, airports and tower blocks have back up generators, although in the case of hosiptals, people on respirators can sometimes die as the generator takes a while to build up voltage.
