Jonah Goldberg Among elites across the ideological spectrum, there's one point of unifying agreement: Americans are bitterly divided. What if that's wrong? What if elites are the ones who are bitterly divided while most Americans are fairly unified? History rarely lines up perfectly with the calendar (the "sixties" didn't really start until the decade was almost over). But politically, the 21st century neatly began in 2000, when the election ended in a tie and the color coding of electoral maps became enshrined as a kind of permanent tribal color war of "red vs. blue." Elite understanding of politics has been stuck in this framework ever since. Politicians and voters have leaned into this alleged political reality, making it seem all the more real in the process. I loathe the phrase "perception is reality," but in politics it has the reifying power of self-fulfilling prophecy. Like rival noble families in medieval Europe, elites have been vying for power and dominance on the arrogant assumption that their subjects share their concern for who rules rather than what the rulers can deliver. Political cartoonists from across country draw up something special for the holiday In 2018, the group More in Common published a massive report on the "hidden tribes" of American politics. The wealthiest and whitest groups were "devoted conservatives" (6%) and "progressive activists" (8%). These tribes dominate the media, the parties and higher education, and they dictate the competing narratives of red vs. blue, particularly on cable news and social media. Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of Americans resided in, or were adjacent to, the "exhausted majority." These people, however, "have no narrative," as David Brooks wrote at the time. "They have no coherent philosophic worldview to organize their thinking and compel action." Lacking a narrative might seem like a very postmodern problem, but in a postmodern elite culture, postmodern problems are real problems. It's worth noting that red vs. blue America didn't emerge ex nihilo. The 1990s were a time when the economy and government seemed to be working, at home and abroad. As a result, elites leaned into the narcissism of small differences to gain political and cultural advantage. They remain obsessed with competing, often apocalyptic, narratives. That leaves out most Americans. The gladiatorial combatants of cable news, editorial pages and academia, and their superfan spectators, can afford these fights. Members of the exhausted majority are more interested in mere competence. I think that's the hidden unity elites are missing. This is why we keep throwing incumbent parties out of power: They get elected promising competence but get derailed -- or seduced -- by fan service to, or trolling of, the elites who dominate the national conversation. There's a difference between competence and expertise. One of the most profound political changes in recent years has been the separation of notions of credentialed expertise from real-world competence. This isn't a new theme in American life, but the pandemic and the lurch toward identity politics amplified distrust of experts in unprecedented ways. This is a particular problem for the left because it is far more invested in credentialism than the right. Indeed, some progressives are suddenly realizing they invested too much in the authority of experts and too little in the ability of experts to provide what people want from government, such as affordable housing, decent education and low crime. The New York Times' Ezra Klein says he's tired of defending the authority of government institutions. Rather, "I want them to work." One of the reasons progressives find Trump so offensive is his absolute inability to speak the language of expertise -- which is full of coded elite shibboleths. But Trump veritably shouts the language of competence. I don't mean he is actually competent at governing. But he is effectively blunt about calling leaders, experts and elites -- of both parties -- stupid, ineffective, weak and incompetent. He lost in 2020 because voters didn't believe he was actually good at governing. He won in 2024 because the exhausted majority concluded the Biden administration was bad at it. Nostalgia for the low-inflation pre-pandemic economy was enough to convince voters that Trumpian drama is the tolerable price to pay for a good economy. About 3 out of 4 Americans who experienced "severe hardship" because of inflation voted for Trump. The genius of Trump's most effective ad -- "Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you" -- was that it was simultaneously culture-war red meat and an argument that Harris was more concerned about boutique elite concerns than everyday ones. If Trump can actually deliver competent government, he could make the Republican Party the majority party for a generation. For myriad reasons, that's an if so big it's visible from space. But the opportunity is there -- and has been there all along. Goldberg is editor-in-chief of The Dispatch: thedispatch.com .

The data from Yelp shows restaurants have become a driving force in this ever-changing retail landscape, helping to catapult visitor numbers above pre-pandemic levels at malls. Shoppers grab a bite to eat and then spend their money at various businesses before and after they dine out — creating a bounce-back effect for what has often been dubbed a "struggling industry." Days of packed shopping malls are beginning to return, but they look a bit different than what we were used to in the 1990s and early 2000s. RELATED STORY | Retailers say they're ready for potential Trump tariffs Take a drive past or step foot near Great Northern Mall in Ohio and you'll be greeted by one restaurant after the next. More are on the way, including a Texas Roadhouse in the near future. "Five times more traffic," Tony Ke, the owner of TJ Hibachi and Sushi said. Ke said through the ups and downs of the coronavirus pandemic, and many folks opting for online shopping over the years, things are finally turning around. He said business is booming with five times more traffic in the mall food court than in years past. "It's really getting better and better," Ke said. And he's not alone. Scripps News Cleveland followed through and spoke with Beverly Bolton, owner of Fortune's Cookies. The self-proclaimed community baker and Cleveland-area mom took a gamble, opening her first brick-and-mortar inside Great Northern a year ago. "It's been an adventure, but better than I expected," Bolton said. The local cookie shop has become so popular that she's been scouted to fill that nostalgic mall cookie void. "We've had some other malls approach us. Actually, use the space where Mrs. Fields used to be in," Bolton said. RELATED STORY | Big Lots continues some store closures as its bankruptcy proceeds Placer.AI reports shopping malls — whether it be open-air concepts or traditional malls like Great Northern — are on the rise again in 2024. The organization that tracks retail foot traffic reports the primary reason is restaurants and food concepts in malls. They are up 7% from 2019 to 2024. Yelp recently released a report of the top 25 mall brands, and 17 of the top 25 mall brands are restaurant chains: Cheesecake Factory at number 1 BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse at 4 Starbucks at 6 Olive Garden at 7 Panera at 10 Chili's at 21 Food concepts are a driving force as well. This includes Filipino, Vegan and specifically Bubble Teas —which are up 100% over the last five years, according to Yelp. Michael Goldberg, a professor in the Department of Design Innovation at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University, said a generation that has virtually lived online plays a critical role in the process. "Many Americans, particularly younger Americans, are focused on experiences and nothing is better than sharing food with friends," Goldberg said. Young social media influencers are eating food on camera, providing reviews and driving people to dive in and try the food. The TikTok generation has given a major boost to once-struggling brands and revived them tenfold. Case in point: Chili's Triple Dipper. "The thought that Chili's is back and being driven by influencer videos on TikTok is quite fascinating and, you know, I mean, there is a nostalgia for brands," Goldberg said. Localized community programming and holiday events like pictures with Santa are a mainstay at malls like Great Northern. Lori Weidleman, who has been cranking out pretzels at Auntie Anne's since 1997, said change is constant. However, she added it's become apparent people will pay for a quality product that takes them back to a special moment in life. "Ohio's doing really good. We're strong and beating our goals and our targets. And it's multi-generational interest," Weidleman said. This story was originally published by Mike Holden at Scripps News Cleveland .
Albanian PM says TikTok ban was not 'rushed reaction to a single incident'Jonah Goldberg: What if most Americans aren't bitterly divided?
By Jasper Ward and Kanishka Singh WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury Department may need to take "extraordinary measures" by as early as Jan. 14 to prevent the United States from defaulting on its debt, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told lawmakers in a letter on Friday. Yellen urged lawmakers in the U.S. Congress to act "to protect the full faith and credit of the United States." U.S. debt is expected to decrease by about $54 billion on Jan. 2 "due to a scheduled redemption of nonmarketable securities held by a federal trust fund associated with Medicare payments," she added. She said: "Treasury currently expects to reach the new limit between January 14 and January 23, at which time it will be necessary for Treasury to start taking extraordinary measures." Under a 2023 budget deal, Congress suspended the debt ceiling until Jan. 1, 2025. The U.S. Treasury will be able to pay its bills for several more months, but Congress will have to address the issue at some point next year. Failure to act could prevent the Treasury from paying its debts. A U.S. debt default would likely have severe economic consequences. A debt limit is a cap set by Congress on how much money the U.S. government can borrow. Because the government spends more money than it collects in tax revenue, lawmakers need to periodically tackle the issue -- a politically difficult task, as many are reluctant to vote for more debt. Congress set the first debt limit of $45 billion in 1939, and has had to raise that limit 103 times since, as spending has consistently outrun tax revenue. Publicly held debt was 98% of U.S. gross domestic product as of October, compared with 32% in October 2001. (Reporting by Jasper Ward and Kanishka Singh; Editing by Chris Reese and Rosalba O'Brien)DETROIT (AP) — Si Donald Trump cumple su amenaza de imponer aranceles de 25% a las importaciones de México y Canadá, los consiguientes aumentos de precios chocarían con su promesa de campaña de dar un respiro a las familias estadounidenses frente a la inflación. Distintos economistas indican que las empresas no tendrían más opción que trasladar los costos adicionales, lo que elevaría drásticamente los precios de alimentos, ropa, automóviles, bebidas alcohólicas y otros bienes. El presidente electo planteó la idea de los aranceles, que incluirían impuestos adicionales de 10% a los bienes procedentes de China, como una forma de obligar a los países a detener el flujo de migrantes y drogas hacia Estados Unidos. Pero sus publicaciones del lunes en Truth Social, donde amenaza con imponer los aranceles en el primer día de su mandato, podrían ser sólo una táctica de negociación para que los países cambien su conducta. Los altos precios de los alimentos fueron un problema importante por el que los votantes eligieron a Trump sobre la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris, pero los aranceles casi seguramente los elevarían aún más. Por ejemplo, la Asociación de Distribuidores de Productos, un grupo comercial de Washington, dijo el martes que los aranceles aumentarán los precios de frutas y verduras frescas, y perjudicarán a los agricultores estadounidenses cuando otros países tomen represalias. “Los aranceles distorsionan el mercado y elevarán los precios en la cadena de suministro, lo cual hará que el consumidor pague más”, dijo Alan Siger, presidente de la asociación. México y Canadá son dos de los mayores exportadores de frutas y verduras frescas a Estados Unidos. En 2022, México proporcionó 51% de las frutas frescas y 69% de las verduras frescas importadas por valor a Estados Unidos, mientras que Canadá suministró 2% de las frutas frescas y 20% de las verduras frescas. Antes de las elecciones, alrededor de 7 de cada 10 votantes dijeron que estaban muy preocupados por el costo de los alimentos, según AP VoteCast, una encuesta realizada entre más de 120.000 votantes. “Los bajaremos”, les dijo Trump en septiembre a los compradores durante una visita a un supermercado en Pensilvania. Estados Unidos es el mayor importador de bienes del mundo, y México, China y Canadá son sus tres principales proveedores, según los datos más recientes del censo de Estados Unidos. Las personas que deseen comprar un vehículo nuevo probablemente también verían grandes aumentos de precios, en un momento en que los costos han subido tanto que están fuera del alcance de muchos. El precio promedio de un vehículo nuevo ahora ronda los 48.000 dólares. Cerca de 15% de los 15,6 millones de vehículos nuevos vendidos en Estados Unidos el año pasado provino de México, mientras que 8% cruzó la frontera desde Canadá, según Global Data. Gran parte de los aranceles se trasladarían a los consumidores, a menos que los fabricantes de automóviles puedan encontrar rápidamente mejoras en la productividad para compensarlos, dijo C.J. Finn, líder del sector automotriz de Estados Unidos de PwC, una empresa de consultoría. Eso significa que aún más consumidores podrían no contar con los recursos para comprar un vehículo nuevo, dijo Finn. Los más afectados serían Volkswagen, Stellantis, General Motors y Ford, escribió el martes el analista de Bernstein, Daniel Roeska, en una nota a los inversores. Stellantis y VW importan de Canadá y México alrededor de 40% de los vehículos que venden, mientras que GM importa 30% y Ford, 25%. GM y Stellantis importan de esos países más de la mitad de sus camionetas pickup con mayor margen de ganancia, según Bernstein. Si Trump impone los aranceles en enero, la industria automotriz tendría poco tiempo para ajustarse, lo cual podría en riesgo las ganancias operativas de los fabricantes de automóviles, dijo Roeska en un correo electrónico. “Un arancel de 25% a México y Canadá paralizaría gravemente la industria automotriz de Estados Unidos”, afirmó. Los aranceles perjudicarían tan gravemente la producción industrial de Estados Unidos que “esperamos que esto no suceda en la práctica”, dijo Roeska. La amenaza de aranceles afectó las acciones de algunas empresas que podrían resultar particularmente perjudicadas, como los fabricantes de automóviles y Constellation Brands, que vende Modelo y otras marcas de cerveza mexicana en Estados Unidos. Pero el mercado en general se mantuvo relativamente estable cerca de los récords, ya que los inversores consideraron la propuesta de Trump más como una posición inicial para negociaciones que como una política definitiva. No se sabe cuánto tiempo durarían los aranceles en caso de implementarse, pero podrían obligar a los ejecutivos automotrices a trasladar la producción a Estados Unidos, lo que podría crear más empleos a largo plazo. Sin embargo, el analista de Morningstar, David Whiston, dijo que, a corto plazo, los fabricantes de automóviles probablemente no harán ningún movimiento porque no pueden cambiar rápidamente el sitio donde construyen los vehículos. Para mudarse a Estados Unidos, tendrían que comprar equipo y reorganizar su cadena de suministro de piezas, lo que podría llevar años. “Creo que todos van a esperar y ver”, dijo Whiston. Millones de dólares en piezas de automóviles cruzan las fronteras con México y Canadá, y eso podría elevar los precios de las ya costosas reparaciones de automóviles, dijo Finn. El Consejo de Bebidas Espirituosas Destiladas de Estados Unidos dijo que los aranceles al tequila o al whisky canadiense no impulsarán la creación de empleos en Estados Unidos porque son productos distintivos que sólo pueden fabricarse en su país de origen. En 2023, Estados Unidos importó de México 4.600 millones de dólares en tequila y 108 millones en mezcal, así como 537 millones en bebidas espirituosas de Canadá, dijo el consejo. “Al final del día, los aranceles a los productos espirituosos de nuestros vecinos del norte y del sur perjudicarán a los consumidores estadounidenses y generarán pérdidas de empleo en toda la industria de la hostelería de Estados Unidos justo mientras estos negocios continúan su larga recuperación después de la pandemia”, dijo el consejo en un comunicado. El minorista de electrónica Best Buy dijo en su conferencia de resultados del tercer trimestre que opera con estrechos márgenes de ganancia, por lo que, aunque los proveedores y la empresa asumirán algunos aumentos, Best Buy tendrá que trasladar los aranceles a los clientes. “Son bienes que la gente necesita, y los aumentos de precios no ayudan”, dijo la directora general Corie Barry. Walmart también advirtió esta semana que los aranceles podrían obligarle a subir los precios, al igual que la Asociación de Distribuidores y Minoristas de Calzado de Estados Unidos. El primer ministro canadiense, Justin Trudeau, quien habló con Trump después de su llamado a imponer los aranceles, dijo que tuvieron una buena conversación sobre cómo ambos países pueden trabajar juntos en los desafíos que enfrentan. “Esto es algo que podemos hacer, exponer los hechos y avanzar de manera constructiva. Esta es una relación que sabemos que requiere cierto trabajo, y eso es lo que haremos”, dijo Trudeau. El equipo de transición de Trump no comentó sobre la llamada. También el lunes, Trump se lanzó contra China, diciendo que ha “tenido muchas conversaciones con China sobre las enormes cantidades de drogas, en particular fentanilo, que se envían a Estados Unidos, pero sin éxito”. La embajada de China en Washington advirtió el lunes que habrá perdedores en todos los bandos si hay una guerra comercial. Las amenazas de Trump llegan en un momento en que las detenciones por cruzar ilegalmente la frontera desde México han disminuido. Las cifras más recientes de Estados Unidos para octubre muestran que las detenciones siguen cerca de los mínimos en cuatro años. Pero las detenciones por cruzar ilegalmente la frontera desde Canadá han aumentado durante los últimos dos años. Gran parte del fentanilo de Estados Unidos se contrabandea desde México. Las incautaciones fronterizas de la droga aumentaron marcadamente en el mandato del presidente Joe Biden. Los aranceles también pondrían en duda la confiabilidad del acuerdo comercial con Canadá y México, negociado en gran parte por Trump en 2020 y conocido como T-MEC, que reemplazó al TLCAN y está sujeto a revisión en 2026. Hasta el momento, los funcionarios del equipo de transición de Trump no han respondido a preguntas sobre la autoridad que usaría, qué necesitaría ver para evitar la implementación de los aranceles y cómo impactarían en los precios en Estados Unidos. Los departamentos de Relaciones Exteriores y Economía de México tampoco tuvieron una reacción inmediata a las declaraciones de Trump. Rugaber informó desde Washington.
