Trump's tariffs might be shaking markets, but they could spark a boom in local production and create buying opportunities for those ready to ride the wave. As Blacklabel said, 'buy low, sell high'—volatility isn't always bad news!

Posted in: Trump calls U.S.-Japan defense pact one-sided as tariff talks loom See in context
Trump’s like your uncle grumbling about the neighbor’s free ride while using their Wi-Fi. He’s loud, but not wrong—the US-Japan treaty costs Uncle Sam big, and Japan’s $1.8 billion doesn’t cover it. People here wail “US bases make Japan a target!”—as if China’s sending love notes without them. Trump’s haggling for a better deal, keeping the alliance sharp and twice as entertaining!

Nothing makes any sense anymore. Adams said racist stuff but if we replace 'black' with 'white' in his comments he is still a racist. How does that work?
Sorry. Replace white with black and he's confirming that white people are racist.

While the public may worry most about the price of gas - a price the government doesn't control unless they want a socialist system.of price controls, the real thing at stake is democracy itself.

You may not think reducing the risk for children (not only of death but also hospitalization and long lasting negative effect to their health) but for the children, their guardians and the doctors in charge of taking care of their health this is an excellent reason to do it.
There really is no good reason for vaccinating healthy children against covid 19. Zero.
