**Ishmael by Daniel Quinn ** Not exactly about religion but a turning point for me.

Ishmael is a half ton silverback gorilla. He is a student of ecology, life, freedom, and the human condition. He is also a teacher. He teaches that which all humans need to learn — must learn — if our species, and the rest of life on Earth as we know it, is to survive.

The book opens with a deceptively ordinary personals ad: “Teacher seeks pupil. Must have an earnest desire to save the world.” Seeking a direction for his life, a young man answers the ad and is startled to find that the teacher is a lowland gorilla named Ishmael, a creature uniquely placed to vision anew the human story.

He worked to build Home Depot and now Trump is using tariffs to pump & dump the stock market for his and his cronies gains. Business owners, who provide product, service or goods are not in on the pump & dump.

So now they are experiencing the leopard first hand.

I thought the tariffs would bring manufacturing jobs to America. Are there no competent advisors in this administration?
