Kimberly Adams: 我关注到特朗普政府削减FDA预算，特别是牛奶质量检测项目被暂停，这引发了人们对食品安全的担忧。取消对食品安全相关机构的监管，转而依赖私营企业自我监管，这种做法并不理想，历史经验也表明其效果不佳。此外，政府还雇佣了FDA的承包商来代替全职员工，但这是否真的能节省开支还有待观察。 另一个令人担忧的问题是政府对美国森林管理局的预算削减，这导致员工数量减少，增加了野火的风险，并对经济造成负面影响。根据报道，该机构约75%的员工接受过荒地消防训练，因此人员减少意味着在预防和扑灭野火方面能力下降。这不仅会增加野火的风险和强度，还会在火灾发生时减少可用于控制火势蔓延的劳动力，造成巨大的经济损失。 Kyle Rosdahl: 我注意到华尔街日报报道称，特朗普政府可能减少对中国商品的关税，市场对此反应积极，但我认为这并不合理。即使关税降低一半，仍然会对经济造成破坏性影响。市场对这一消息的积极反应，体现了人们对极端政策转向温和政策的期待，这可以被比作市场中的‘Ryssdal窗口’，类似于政治中的‘Overton窗口’。 此外，我还注意到一个关于国防部长Pete Hegseth的荒唐新闻，他竟然要求在五角大楼安装化妆室，以便在新闻发布会和福克斯新闻采访中保持良好形象。这不仅浪费纳税人的钱，也反映出政府的荒唐行为。 最后，我想提一下《纽约时报》关于冲泡咖啡物理学的一篇文章，这篇文章不仅介绍了冲泡咖啡的科学原理，还包含了其他有趣的科学内容，例如制作意大利面的最佳方法。这体现了科学发现的持续进步，以及这些发现对人们生活的影响。

Shownotes Transcript

The Overton Window is a concept that helps explain how the range of policies considered politically acceptable shifts over time. But have you heard of the “Ryssdal Window"? We’ll explain how it relates to what’s happening in the markets right now as president Trump hints at a possible change of heart on China tariffs. Plus, the FDA suspended a milk quality testing program. With less federal oversight, can private industries regulate themselves? And, the physics behind a great cup of coffee.
