President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a new round of punishing tariffs, saying the United States will impose a 100% tariff on imported branded drugs, 25% tariff on imports of all heavy-duty trucks and 50% tariffs on kitchen cabinets.
Trump also said he would start charging a 30% tariff on upholstered furniture next week.
How about we just call it “The Standard Unit” and choose U its symbol. You know, just to mess around with all the other “units” we have for everything. I’m looking at you, Enzyme unit, in particular. Also, the “Astronomical Unit” was a pretty obnoxious name too, so points for that.
