    I'm surprised Trump hasn't offered to abolish their income taxes.

      Sounds like a suggestion that might appeal to the administration; consider sending that to the WH.

        I suspect some of this work is seasonal (picking strawberries in Lawdy, anyone) and the kids probably don't make enough to pay taxes on...

            Looks like the stock market is falling below recent trading range. Not a good sign.

              It’d settled for an earlier signal like this or worse vs. the inevitable inflation that’ll come.

              I continue to remain floored that a President is allowed to purposely tank the economy.

                            Every disastrous outcome won't be so disastrous after being undone by the next administration. Trade is economic and for economic interests, and I don't mistake it for personal friendship. If we see massive disaster in this administration, it will embolden and enspinify (I made that word up) the center left emasculated pussies who've let the progressives run roughshod over their party's messaging. Now they see the electoral price they may pay if they don't maintain some order in their own house.

                            Or maybe Trump will work out well after all, and we get four more years of Maga. These are all possibilities. I don't see a conceivable future where the culture war stuff isn't decisively won and put to rest, by the right.

                              I go to Canada every two weeks or so. I don’t think you guys have any idea how big of an issue this stuff is over there. I’ve never seen Canadians so unanimously feel any emotion like this….. that’s a lie the international hockey tournaments are the only comparable.

                              For example - Canadians who have been in lock step with US on opposition to China are now considering aligning with China..

                                I hear the same from my Canadian relatives. They're plenty pissed.

                                Hell, they're not even apologizing.

                                  It will never not be advantageous to have solid trade relations. That principle will last longer than emotion, and America can effect a practical apology at the ballot box, if it comes to that.

                                    People are starting to get laid off, it hasn’t quite taken off, but things could get bad if these tariffs stay on.

                                    I don’t think people decide to give US another chance that easily if Trump remains obstinate.

                                    At the margin this will be a risk in every business case going forward.

                                      Some non-culture-war stuff that the Dems also own, and to their electoral discredit. This conversation between Ezra Klein and Jon Stewart has been making the rounds on conservative media. It's about crippling economic regulations, and the left's love for them.

                                        I really do think Trump has sobered up the left, and that is good for everybody.
