    As for an update on "Drill, Baby, Drill", more drills were shut down in the past week than in the past 2 years.

                      So now China is boycotting Boeing, presumably switching all their business to airbus. Planes parts service, the whole Monty.

                      Boeing is in for a rough time, imagine losing all those orders, and Boeing factory people being layed off because of the lost market potential.

                        The country's top three airlines – Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines – have plans to take delivery of 45, 53 and 81 Boeing planes, respectively, between 2025-2027, Reuters reports.

                        Sounds like a lot of jobs. I wonder how many of the workers voted for this.

                                Nor did I. The universal tariff thing threw me off. Maybe he thinks he's complying with GATT.

                                If nothing else, though, this episode will educate more people on tariffs and trade.

                                  Yep. Trump draws attention, and people are educated about politics and all things geopolitical, due to that attention. Some worry that the masses are learning all the wrong lessons, but I think the education has a lot of value.

                                      His economic mistakes are classically leftist, I think (though the dichotomy probably breaks down). Hopefully the backlash will be towards more capitalism and free markets. Generally, one worries that backlash against Trump will be too far to the left, but this is setting up to be a backlash towards an appreciation of free markets.

                                      If the party of free markets going forward is the Democrats, so be it, I'll be voting Democrat. But a free market GOP would be preferable.

                                        Both parties have picked up some counterproductive alliances. Someone didn't remember "it's the economy, stupid" lesson from a while ago. Pretty soon, the economy will be the only issue. What's funny to me is that many (most?) people have yet to feel the impact of the tariffs. Ignorance, of which our nation has an abundance, is bliss.

                                          Bernie, AOC, and Elizabeth Warren have to be concerned as hell right now… The entire country is freaking out and turning against the pro-labor policies that they’ve always advocated for.
