Second, #relocalization isn't the only option for firms to adjust to the #tariffs war and safeguards their profit margins.

Maybe some #relocalization will happen

(but relocalizing takes years and it remains to be seen where and how, and for what production).

But these #deglobalization claims seem to downplay a few things.

First, #globalization is not only about trade routes to/from the #US.

“Meaning emerges from engagement with the world, not from abstract contemplation of it.” — Iain McGilchrist Image of a misty PNW winter sky with the hazy sun on the horizon with the faint outlines of evergreens on the horizon and rows of orchard saplings in the foreground. @lifeboatacademy

"Conventional economic wisdom is a dictatorship of capitalist fictions presented as unassailable reality." ― Nesrine Malik Image of Pacific Northwest field in winter, grasses laying down and heavy with rain, a line of evergreens fading into the mists on the horizon. @lifeboatacademy

“If we take care of nature, nature will take care of us.” — Sir David Attenborough Image of a Douglas fir in a hedgerow with a tumble down rail fence.

Nature and psychology work the same way. "Don't think the garden loses its ecstasy in winter. It's quiet, but the roots down there are riotous." — Rumi Image of a hazy Pacific Northwest dawn, the sky coloured in pastels and a dewy gray and brown field stretching to a near horizon of Douglas firs in the mist. @lifeboatacademy

“We never know how our small activities will affect others through the invisible fabric of our connectedness. In this exquisitely connected world, it’s never a question of ‘critical mass.’ It’s always about critical connections.” — Grace Lee Boggs Image of the cut face of an old stump, grey with age and weathering. Growing out of the stump is a turkey tail mushroom and a few bits of fresh green mosses. @lifeboatacademy

“Imbalanced systems, whether internal or external, will tend to polarize.” ― Richard C Schwartz Image: close up of a head of January King cabbage.

We create as we speak because words make worlds within us. If you doubt this, try saying the word “waterfall.” What do you see, hear, smell, taste, experience? How do you feel? Now try on the word “supermarket,” or worse, “traffic.” What do you see, hear, and feel now? A single word is powerful enough to create an entire sensory experience in someone who hears, reads, or thinks it. If you were in a laboratory with electrodes attached to your head, a neuroscientist could track your brain’s response. If a single word can do that much, think of the possibilities of a line, a sentence, a paragraph, a page—or a sequence of pages! ― Leslie Davenport Image of a sky peppered with clouds of different colours. Likely a sky at dusk or dawn.

“Imagination may be the most essential, uniquely human capacity – creating both the dead-end crises of our time and the doorway through them.” — Bill Plotkin. Background is a moss-covered fallen tree with dry leaves covering it in a deep forest, photo taken in a dramatic perspective - width of the trunk at the bottom of the image tapering dramatically to a point at the top of the image.

"The metacrisis is not a technical challenge, it is an adaptive challenge." — Erik Fernholm in interview with Nate Hagens @lifeboatacademy Detail of the base layer of a hugelkultur bed comprised of thick alder stick ends meeting, all in various stages of desiccation and decay.

“In the real world there is no nature vs. nurture argument, only an infinitely complex and moment-by-moment interaction between genetic and environmental effects.” quote from Gabor Maté - image of an evening winter landscape, Douglas firs and cedar trees festooned with snow drenched in blue crepuscular light. @lifeboatacademy
