I believe the Amish people in North America live well without cars and phones. Some use horse-drawn carriages and face-to-face communication instead, although not all Amish groups are the same as Wikipedia sayshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmishThis is not the world that the MAGA folks want, right? It might be the world after a total collapse of civilization, though, when oil has finally run out in an oil-addicted society. The Trump administration is in my opinion on the fast track to a collapse of civilization.https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/321192/goliaths-curse-by-kemp-luke/9780241741238-J. -------- Original message --------From: Marcus Daniels <[email protected]> Date: 4/7/25 9:24 PM (GMT+01:00) To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Tariff blowback Hey, but a car and phone addicted culture can go outside and get some exercise?

It is a little bit ironic that the administration in an attempt to "make america great again" destroys its most valuable company, isn't it? As everyone knows the supply chains of Apple end in China. https://www.reuters.com/technology/will-trump-tariffs-make-apple-iphones-more-expensive-2025-04-03/ I knew that the 2nd term would be catastrophic but I wasn't sure which sort of catastrophe would happen. Apparently it starts with a worldwide economic crisis - which in turn will lead to massive unemployment and inflation. -J.
