Maybe.
But ...Whether you like them or not you're hearing ideas from Trump. Maybe they aren't always practical or workable, but at least you're hearing ideas on how to move the economy.
Heard anything from The Resident?
Getting rid of student debt, ending racism, doing something or other with the Middle East involving unicorns.
Any fucking idiot can talk bollocks non-stop. It's not a useful skill.
Ultimately, the student loan stuff is probably unconstitutional. Biden has probably fomented more racism than he cured. And
don't exist.The funny thing is that you recognize Biden’s bollocks for what it is but you think there’s some logical thought process behind Trump’s excremental outpourings
No, but I know what spitballing is. Trump tends to do it out loud and sometimes in public. Sometimes, the ideas are goofy. Sometimes, they're not possible, legally or logistically. Sometimes, they're worth pursuing, but wind up in a dead end. Sometimes, he comes up with something, something novel or a twist on something established, that does lead to an effective end result.

Is that how you'd describe his recent scientific dissertation regarding the relative merits of sharks and batteries? Again, somebody sounds as though they've been smoking a lot of weed.
Anyway, who'd win in a fight, Darth Vader or The Borg Queen?

No, the shark thing was a bit weird, but who else was thinking about battery powered or hybrid powered boats and the problems of electricity and salt water?

There's a reason for that. Current flows from one battery terminal to the other one. It doesn't want to go anywhere else. The shark is safe from electrocution, which is probably the main concern.

Salt water is conductive. 0.6W/mK @ 25°C.

Even in freshwater...I've used parts of an old telephone to shock fish.

Yeah, but where's the electricity trying to go? It's a battery. The electricity wants to flow from the positive terminal to the negative one. It doesn't flow to ground or to random bits of metal/flesh or anywhere else. There's salt water between the terminals. Why would it flow through somebody?

You place the fish between the voltage generated by the magneto from the phone and the return point, so the electricity wants to flow through the fish. If you stick your hand, foot or other between the poles of the battery, you're getting zapped too. But probably not if you swim in the water.

Policymakers drawn to Trump’s tariff and tax ideas should go back to the drawing board. Otherwise, they might squelch the opportunity for fundamental tax reform by pursuing unprincipled, economically harmful, and nonsensical ideas.
