  • This link and the Walrus in general won’t load, so I haven’t read the article.

    But, I do have 2 children born in Canada in the past 10 years, and both had a baby-box that we were provided with, which contained tonnes of baby supplies, and a mattress which they slept on for much of the first few months (until they could reach the edges and hit it in their sleep)

    So whatever this article is supposed to say, we’re either already doing it, or we recently stopped doint it.

The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?.. raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression.
