Interesting stuff

1. Very insightful… and sad article about the “industry” of caring for elders in the US. I recognize a LOT of my 92-year old dad’s experiences.
2. Trump has ended the “de minimus” exemption for shipments from China/US, destroying the business model of Temu and Shein (and many entrepreneurs “drop shipping” from China). I expect companies will route around that exemption, but Trump’s blanket tariffs  will still be disruptive. His insanity will only end when US imports fall to its level of exports (or zero, I suspect), which will cost Americans (and global producers) dearly. The good news? All other countries can trade with each other.
3. Pope Francis reduced corruption at the Vatican Bank, but didn’t end it.
4. Video: Death to nickels!
5. Podcasts:
   1. What strategy should you pursue to be the next pope?
   2. ADHD in kids and adults
   3. One of the better episodes of Dutch News, ft. penguins!
   4. The surprising innovations in Canadian agriculture
   5. How should governments regulate markets? (Lots of good economics)
   6. Paul Sellers goes all mod with his woodworking: April Fools
