This is not like a thing that's going to endanger anybody. So when you're dealing with some of those issues, it's become the cleavages. I mean, for you, is it reminding people that due process is a question that goes across the immigration divide? What do you find works for navigating that?

Do you feel that there are fentanyl policies that we know how to do that really work. Every time I've really tried to write or report this out, the level of frustration I hear from the people really working on it is, it's almost unimaginable because it is so hard. It is so concentrated. It has become so much easier than heroin was before it to transport.

Is there something you feel that if we did, it would make a big difference that we're not doing right now that neither Biden or Trump has put their weight behind?

Yeah, the GLP-1s. GLP-1s. Unless there's more of that I don't know about, but there might be. But yeah, they seem to have a real effect there.

For decades now, America has dominated the global financial system. Our currency is the currency that international trade runs on. Our financial plumbing is a plumbing that basically everybody to some degree or another uses. This has been called our, quote, exorbitant privilege. Because of it, our borrowing costs are lower.

Because of it, we know things about the global economy nobody else knows, have access to information nobody else has access to. We can wrap sanctions around our enemies in a way no one else can. The worry for a long time has been that the world will slip out of this system. There have been challengers. Japan in the 80s the EU in the 2000s, now China.

But no one has really come anywhere near dislodging it. And that was partially because it's hard to build something new and partially because we were fairly, at least until recently, restrained in how we used it.

We don't want to make it too hard to use the thing we're selling. The Trump administration is at a much more complicated relationship with this, to say the least. They've come to see dollar dominance and its cousin, our military dominance, as a burden we bear on behalf of the rest of the world and a burden they should be paying more for the privilege of using.
