I spent today tracing the Canada–U.S. tariff story beyond the headlines.
The part I found most interesting wasn't the political argument.
It was what happens after the tariff is imposed.

If the U.S. puts a tariff on something imported from Canada, who do you think ultimately carries the largest burden?
A. Canadian businesses
B. American businesses
C. American consumers
D. It depends

[MAKINERA @Makinera_]

You can support Trump and still understand how tariffs work.
You can oppose Trump and still misunderstand how tariffs work.
Politics tells you what side to take.
Economics tells you where the cost goes.

A tariff doesn't arrive at the checkout counter with a little sign saying “Trump's bill.”
The cost moves.
Importers → businesses → supply chains → prices.
The interesting question is where it finally stops.

Everyone is arguing about whether Trump's Canada tariffs are good or bad.
That's not the question I'm interested in.
Who actually ends up paying for them?
I broke down the mechanism.

The Fed's target range is currently 3.50%–3.75%, while U.S. inflation was 3.4% year-over-year in July 2026.
The interesting part isn't simply whether rates go up or down.
Markets can react to expectations before the Federal Reserve actually changes policy.

But the interesting question isn't just how powerful AI becomes.
Who keeps financing the boom?
Sources: Reuters; company bond filings and market data.

[MAKINERA @Makinera_]

AI's infrastructure boom is being financed with an enormous amount of new corporate debt.
Companies building data centers and AI infrastructure have borrowed roughly $220 billion this year, according to recent reporting......

Most people think banks lend out money someone else saved first.
The order is backwards.
A bank can create a deposit when it makes a loan. So what actually limits how much a bank can create?
I broke down the mechanism—and what it means for your money.

FDIC insures deposits up to $250,000 per depositor, per bank. If you don't know why that number matters, this week's video explains exactly what it's insuring you against

[MAKINERA @Makinera_]

New video is live. Your bank has $0 of cash backing your $100,000 deposit. Here's why that's completely legal — and what it means
for you: https://t.co/kLPgXKieAH

[MAKINERA @Makinera_]

The "10% reserve" story you learned about banking has been wrong since 2020. Most finance content still teaches it anyway.

BANK HAS ZERO DOLLARS OF YOUR DEPOSIT!!!

or most important to understand better?
If you disagree, don't just say “this is wrong.” Bring the source or the reasoning. That's the kind of discussion worth having here.
And if something in the video changed the way you understood banking, tell me what specifically changed.

[MAKINERA @Makinera_]

Most people are taught to think of banking as: save → deposit → bank lends. This video argues that the order is largely the other way around: loans create deposits.
The interesting question isn't whether that sounds surprising

[MAKINERA @Makinera_]

https://t.co/kLPgXKhGL9

[MAKINERA @Makinera_]

it's what this changes about the way you think about your deposits, bank risk, interest rates, and where you keep your money.
I'm genuinely interested in the strongest disagreement here:
What part of this explanation do you think is wrong, incomplete
