The Art of the Trade War
Trade wars are like awkward family feuds, but instead of yelling at Thanksgiving dinner, politicians slap each other with tariffs like they're in a passive-aggressive game of economic dodgeball.

In the end, nobody wins—except maybe smugglers and black market avocado dealers.
