Our nitwit President created tariffs by (imports - exports)/exports [ (I-E)/E ], which is to stay, not the best way.
For countries that import no goods from the United States, you get X/0, which = 0%, but we slap everyone with 10% tariffs on everyone.
Now the men with a very good brain, very good. His IQ is huge. Maybe the Hugest. That is what he hears people are saying. A veteran came up to him, and he said, "Mr. President. Thank you. Thank you for putting tariffs on those countries that are raping us." So yes, he has a very good brain.
Anyway, his administration used internet domains as country substitutes (like the USA is .us, England is .sk, Switzerland is .ch). So what happened?
At some point, ICNN Board Members (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) added a domain for the Heard and McDonald Islands (.hm). Did they think about it? No. I used to be on the ICANN Board, and they argued about a bunch of stuff (should the new numbering system be 6 sets of 3 or 4 sets of 4 - keep it at 4 sets of 3?). Should there be an ".xxx" domain or a ".shop" domain name?
So our very thorough Treasury department thought, well, if they have a domain, they get at least 10% tariffs. This is how you came up with the rather stupid plan we have now where an inhabited Island of seals and penguins has a tariff slapped on them. Heard and McDonald Islands (*.hm) in particular.
This has led to several stupid memes but also some great pics of penguins on Heard Island.
