So my kids never really believed in the Easter Bunny (past the age of 5 or so) because one year they looked out the window and saw us hiding eggs in the yard.
When my son was about 10 he called us out on it and said "I know that you hide the eggs, I saw you doing it!" We laughed and said, oh yeah, like the Tooth Fairy.
And then we watched him get super sad because I guess he had believed in the Tooth Fairy until that very moment.
Oops.
U.S. plan to restore American manufacturing:
1) Put tariffs on Canadian aluminum so they sell it to the EU.
2) Buy middle eastern aluminum instead.
3) Attack Iran and get aluminum stuck in Persian Gulf.

"To the Iranians, the Strait of Hormuz now matters more than the nuclear program. The nuclear program was symbolic, but didn’t provide them with any deterrence. Now, the only reason why they are surviving this war is because of the strait. The Iranian thinking is that, at the end, the strait must remain under their control because it is their only deterrence and only source of revenue."
