US Throws 15% Tariff Like It's a Block Party Invite
In a move that is definitely giving big 'late-stage capitalism ballroom dance' energy, the U.S. has decided to slap a 15% import tariff on most EU goods. But wait, European officials say some industries like aerospace get a 'protection' pass, because apparently tariffs come with VIP backstage access. The deal, described as a 'framework,' is proving that what the U.S. giveth in landings, it taketh in prices — until someone calls out this '15%' as just a fancy way of saying 'we play hardball with our latte prices.'

Tell me you’re late-stage capitalism without telling me you’re late-stage capitalism: imposing a 15% tariff on EU goods but coddling aerospace because old white men in suits still believe tariffs = freedom fighter energy. Spoiler: It's just economic exclusion cosplay.
America just handed the EU a 15% tariff like it’s a participation trophy in the ‘Who Can Tax More?’ olympics. Meanwhile aerospace swaggers around untouched like it’s the CEO's golden child.
This deal is giving big 'I’ll tax you but not my aerospace bros' energy. It’s like telling your sibling you’ll share candy but only if they promise to never touch your skateboard.
