My impression from Ericssonland: Around year 2008 being an Erlang coder was often more or less seen as being a COBOL coder in Sweden. Bluetail had sort of failed, having burned lots of VC, iirc. So Erlang was something weird and custom that

Yeah, Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping can do that "if they are cranky". The reasonable world doesn't take Russia or China seriously. US is about to be added to that list. Also, we're now busy building nukes. Morons.

And offered 0% tariffs on all physical goods (that includes agriculture) weeks ago. But no, Trump is financially illiterate and doesn't understand the concept of VAT.

My dream scenario: The rest of the world would band together and upper the mininum tariffs levels against US imports to 10% for 90 days.

Claiming VAT is a tariff. Then, the other day, tariffing Ukraine with 10% but not Russia.

I now honestly think Trump is a Russian asset. It's the only way his actions makes any sense. It's that or he's insane. So guess the most charitable interpretation is: Russian asset. I was his quiet champion up until about a

There is no logic to it. It's just the US going insane and Americans nodding along. https://taxpolicy.org.uk/2025/04/02/no-vat-isnt-a-tariff-but... https://iccwbo.org/news-publications&#x
