I posted the above before watching the video.
Note half of the people in the video touching the statue are women.
And literally all are posing for pictures.
Irish authorities should leave it be and deal with their real problems.
And Ricardo sighed.
It almost is designed to eliminate comparative advantage.
I’d prefer tariffs (and industrial policy) that were entirely national and economic security based.
Do we care if Vietnam makes all of our socks? No. In a pinch we could go sockless until we figured it out. Or we could learn how to darn them again like our grandmothers did.
Do we care if Taiwan makes all of our chips? Hell yes, even though they’re friendly.
Do we care if China makes all our drones? (Or most of them). Hell fucking yes.
@taiwan_girl said in Walmart Changes the Way They Do Geographic Delivery:
As Walmart put it: “A household that might have previously been just beyond the delivery boundary, now can enjoy the same convenient service as their neighbors across the street.”
This seems dumb. Any predefined delivery zone will have boundaries, ergo someone living across the street who is in a different zone.

I hope they last too. Like the idea and it will use a lot less lumber.

First quarter was before the economic world war declared by Trump. It doesn't look to get better from there.
Maybe don't walk around seven corners at midnight though. I used to go to a somali hookah bar in bailey's crossroads with friends, but we'd always leave by 11pm... nothing good ever happened after midnight (drugs, shootings, etc).
And he’s made $1M in go-fund-me and is a darling of the not so left.

I can't imagine playing US football at the professional level and not having some sort of serious injury. Those guys are so big and so fast and so strong, that when they collide............. OUCH!!!!
