Trump Tariff Tutorial: Building Better Brain Bumps to Combat Universal Ignorance and Hysteria

/in /by
Many people mistakenly equate big corporations with entrepreneurial spirit, but the opposite is true. Large corporations are bureaucratic machines, run not by bold innovators but by a select caste of C-suite executives. These managers are typically hired not for their entrepreneurial drive, but for their ability to manage risk-averse systems, navigate boardrooms, and make decisions by committee. They’re insulated from personal risk and rewarded regardless of whether the company thrives or falters.

True entrepreneurs, on the other hand, are individuals with skin in the game. They take real risks, chase real opportunities, and are personally invested in the outcomes.
Trump’s tariffs, while far from perfect, dealt a blow to the Soviet-style corporate status quo. In doing so, they’ve created space, however imperfect, for genuine entrepreneurial energy to re-emerge. It’s not a flawless strategy, but it’s a bold one.
