Bad example. Most dairy imports from US -> Canada are not subject to the tariffs.
This video goes over the details of the thresholds and how those dairy tariffs work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lURdVBCBo8
In short, nobody is paying 200% tariffs.

The $22B number comes from the stock market downturn leading to a loss of wealth of $7B for Musk that happened to be on the same day that Slim said they will cancel contracts for an unspecified amount with Starlink and invest $22B into developing their own infrastructure.
So, the headline is completely false.

This is not how tariffs work - the US company is responsible for the tariff, not the Canadian company.

Not any kind of expert, but from my research, Article 19.3 of the USMCA says that tariffs can't be imposed on digital products:
1. No Party shall impose customs duties, fees, or other charges on or in connection with the importation or exportation of digital products transmitted electronically, between a person of one Party and a person of another Party.

Any chance of a Firefox extension?

Yes, if everyone isn't involved in arriving at the decision about what is fair, they won't feel that it's fair even if you come up with some brilliant objective measurement of contribution impact.

I would find a way to validate that there is a path to $1m/year. Perhaps talking to some of the folks to see if they would commit to paying if you're able to deliver what you're building.
If you can get some written commitments in place, it will be a lot easier to pitch to investors if you decide to go that route, and you'll get a better valuation.
It doesn't sound like you are able to bear a worst case scenario at the moment since you have dependents, so you want to be as sure as possible before you lose your income stream.

Thank you for writing this. They say that you don't know what you have until it's gone, but reading experiences like this reminds me how precious and fragile life is, so that I can more deeply appreciate the time I do have with my loved ones.

The author's other writings on the four magic words helped me understand his point of view at visceral level. He is not clinging to preserving his son, he believes that his son's life is sacred, even in its diminished state.

You can look into a Git-based CMS, such as https://github.com/decaporg/decap-cms
These typically are designed to support static site generators.

I disagree, there's nothing wrong with a business owner doing things because it makes them happy.

Ah their pricing was different when I was using them, but I recommend reaching out, they were very flexible and easy to work with they might do something custom for you.

I think it's easy to believe a narrative like this about someone generally disliked, but the reality about basically everyone is that we have good moments and bad moments. People that are famous are constantly being watched and evaluated.
Given the inevitability of those bad moments being observed and reported, I don't think it's a good foundation for evaluating someone's character. In this case, it's mostly useful for confirming an already negative point of view.
