The world markets have been in meltdown.
As you know Trump has introduced harsh tariffs on many countries that sell goods in the USA.
You may have seen the Ferris Beuler replays suggesting the foolishness of this strategy.
The world is very different from 2 centuries ago when the States successfully used tariffs.
And in the 1930's they clearly failed - If Ferris's economics class is taken as correct...
Trump calleds them tariffs, but it seems that the end user who pays is the US citizen.

Last time I was there, the States was expensive.
Yes, there was one golden time when the AUD:USD was 1:1 and it was relatively cheap.
But last visit... It was just straight-up expensive.
And adding even 10% to everything not made in America?
Well, it seems like a recipe for economic pain and suffering.
Here's my doctor's perspective: In medicine, we never use a treatment where the risks outweigh the benefits.
And these tariffs? They might work, but they're looking a lot more like a fancy tax than a trade solution.
Especially for a country already juggling $35 trillion in debt.
The markets are already showing the strain. So what works in times like these?
The answer: Lean, leveraged operations.
- Can your teams execute with minimal errors?
- Can your teams leverage AI effectively?
- Can your teams minimise downtime between completed work and the next step?
This is a systems problem.
Businesses that run systems will survive and thrive in these chaotic and complex conditions.
Sound systems track the work and its results so your people can see and do their work quickly and efficiently - especially when using ultrafast AI tools.
