For years we've heard from US fossil fuel fans that there is no reason for the US to reduce emissions because, "What about China?" Now that China is reducing emissions I expect we will hear the same people say the US doesn't need to reduce emissions because: China is doing it for us!

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Corruption is the most important story in the world, part 212. --Attacking kleptocracy has not, to date, been a very effective political strategy in the US. But that may possibly be changing. "The tariffs were a Trump insider trading scam" cuts through the noise.

It didn’t even last a week and the tariffs against China are beginning to crumble with smartphones, PCs, servers, and other tech products being exempted. Sucks for the small business owners who aren’t big enough to lobby for their own exemptions. Welcome to the coin operated presidency.
