    It’s not really a small point though. It’s a huge signal about how serious these people are.

    Like, if a scientific paper has the text “as an AI language model” in it, you can be sure that there’s no point in reading the paper deeply. Similarly, tariffs on uninhabited islands tells you that there’s no “5d chess” being played here, these people are absolute morons.

      Oh for sure, a “apply to everyone” tarrif isn’t a well thought out approach just as firing all probationary hires isn’t a well thought out approach. Just hate that people are acting like he also put tarrifs on Atlantis or Wakanda or something because he thinks they exist. An apply all rule would include those places, too, but it’s stupid because of why you said, not because he’s actively choosing uninhabited islands by hand.
