今日思考,2025年4月28日: 作为一个有中国血统的人,我理解中国民族自豪感中的“吃苦”精神和忍受艰辛的角度。 但数学就是数学。 当整个经济都依赖于保持流水线运转,不是因为经济利润或需求,而是因为没有其他办法来维持大众就业时,真的应该找到一种方法与购买全球消费35%的美国消费者搞好关系。 与我的零售业CEO朋友交谈时,每一天这个关税战持续下去,永久性地将供应链迁出中国的决定正在被做出。 所以,是的,美国受制于四年选举周期,等等,但如果这个关税战持续一年,中国面临世俗经济崩溃的风险。 特朗普2.0需要为中国提供一个体面的退出策略,而习近平需要接受它。
能源安全 = 地缘政治安全 希望这能唤醒欧盟和美国,认识到电网稳定性和非间歇性能源来源的重要性。 如果你想了解现代社会在这种情况持续两周后会发生什么,请阅读威廉·福斯特琴(William Forstchen)的《一秒之后》(_One Second After_)。提示:_蝇王_(Lord of the Flies)。 即使中国将西方引入“绿色宇宙”(Gretaverse)并逐步淘汰其燃煤和核电站,它却采取了相反的行动,大力建设燃煤和核电站。 去年我在丹尼森大学(Denison University)就这个话题做了一次客座讲座: 美国资源丰富但政策短缺。 中国资源短缺但政策充足。

刚刚收到消息。 西班牙、葡萄牙以及部分法国地区发生大规模停电。 从商店到交通信号灯、医院、机场、电话和火车等所有数字化生活的每个部分都已瘫痪。
@briangobosox 他们是否选择自我毁灭,取决于他们自己。 我认为这就是会发生的事情:

As you know, I’m thinking of Tariffs in two broad categories: Long Term Incentive Modifiers and Short Term Negotiation Tools. At the end of the day, if were advising @realDonaldTrump and @SecScottBessent, I would make the upcoming Sector Tariffs the LT Incentive Modifiers and set them at a rate that will not completely shut things down, but truly encourage behavioral change in Critical Path Industries (think Energy, Minerals, Chips, Ships, and Drugs). The poll I took yesterday gives some hints as to what these Tariff levels might be. See below. Trade these against relaxing the Reciprocal Tariffs (ST Negotiation Tools) to something close to zero on non-Critical Path Industries. At the end of the day, who cares where our T-shirts and Tchotchkes are made? The cheaper the better. But we MUST be smart of targeting Critical Path Industries to achieve LT behavioral change.
回到关税战。 FWIW,我认为特朗普2.0不会也不应该在我称之为“长期激励修正器”关税上妥协。 也许可以采用一个逐步调整的机制来留出适应时间? 这是我会建议给政府的意见。

正如我今天在沉思中提到的,如果你还没有读过《一秒之后》,你应该读一读。 这是一个关于EMP攻击(或在这种情况下,可能是CME——日冕物质抛射)之后发生的事情的高度可信的小说。 它可怕地描绘了现代社会在不到两周内如何演变成“蝇王”情境,如果电力(想想缺乏冷藏和缺乏水过滤)、电信、交通同时中断。 它还告诉你,当灾难来临时,唯一重要的货币是1. 食物,2. 水,3. 弹药。 我把卫星电话放在法拉第袋里保存了多年,直到我失去希望,认为可能没有人在另一端接我的电话。😂🥲

The large, massive power outage that broke out in Portugal, Spain, and parts of France just shows the chaos that will occur when the Earth's magnetic field totally diminishes, as we are currently in a geomagnetic excursion. The super markets are using electricity from their backup generators, people are buying food and water, the government and the experts don't know when the problem will be fixed, and it might last for a few days. Apparently, this video is from Spain. Should we be worried? Thread (1/8)🧵
