Manage episode 488433101 series 3293069
After a bunch of delays, technical hiccups, and the usual chaos, Myzie and Chan are finally talking tariffs. Yep—those confusing little taxes that somehow keep making headlines. We’re breaking down what they are, why they matter, and how politics (looking at you, Trump!) keeps shaking things up. It’s part explainer, part hot take, and totally worth a listen. Save it for later or dive in now—tariffs aren’t going anywhere.
