Prices go up for imported goods driving down demand for all goods both domestic and imported.
Retaliatory tariffs, increased cost of resources, and most destructively changes to purchasing behaviors drive down exports and kill domestic production further. These are long term effects as well. As competitive countries fill the niche left from the fucking idiot country who decided to shit on their own market.
For 7 years after left my parents place my only form of transportation was a bike. I rode all through college and my first job.
Toward the end I could do 40-50 miles a day and not even think about it. I think my record was 75 miles in a day.
After a 20 year break I pulled my old bike out to ride 2 miles mostly downhill one evening. Holy shit I was sore. I could hardly move the pedals in my old cruising gear.
It is an old Soviet design. Many countries in the old Soviet block states have this. I just about did a one legger down them a couple times in Uzbekistan.
This is why I buy my HVAC filters in bulk 4 or 8 at a time and replace them every 3-4 months (less if there is smoke). The difference it makes in keeping the house clean is very noticable. I get very little dust accumulation except in my teens rooms because they leave their doors closed.
I used to work with a supplier that hired a former Monsanto executive as their CEO. When his first agenda came out I told their sales team he was an idiot and to have fun looking for a new job a few months.
The CEO bailed after 2 years to start his own "consulting business."
1 year later the company lost 75% of their market share and was laying off people left and right. They are still afloat barely.
After a couple years "consulting", the CEO went to another company in 2023. He didn't bounce fast enough and got caught on this one. He was fired 2 weeks ago and the company shut their doors except for a handful of staff to facilitate the firesale of the companies assets.
This is a really good example of how nutrient deficiencies can occur.
If you look at the parsley you can see the cotyledons turning reddish and the true leaves are lime green. This is the beginning of nitrogen deficiency.
What is causing the nitrogen deficiency - the fungus using all available N to break down organic matter in the potting soil.
The solution, add in some more nitrogen to get the plants going and allow the fungus breakdown the organic matter faster. The after a few months when the organic matter is decomposed, the nutrients locked up in the fungus will be released for the plant to use.
Since generalist predators control them planting a pollinator/predator flower blend is recommended. These are nectar producing species in a collection that blooms all year long.
This will attract and give habitat for the generalist predators. It works pretty well. Since I turned my front flowerbed into one I almost never seen aphids on my roses anymore.
My newest computer is 5 years old. I see no reason to upgrade anything.
I use my 11 year old laptop with Linux mint on it as well. I maxed out the RAM on it and swapped in a Sata SSD, it boots in under 40 seconds and does everything I need it to do. It's one of those cheap underpowered Celeron processors as well.
Carrots, onions, and other biannial plants will sometimes behave as an annual. It's usually caused by a genetic mutant but it can be environmentally triggered.
In the wild they naturally are a mixed of annual and biannual plants depending on the growing conditions.
What's even better, they got his deputy as well. Normally the deputy either gets a promotion, serves as the interim head or transitions the new incoming replacement.
Getting them both means the new replacements are coming in blind. Mistakes can be made due to lack of knowledge for the next year or so.
