Wasted millions in time alone.

Kinda makes you wish for the simpler times of being cooped up inside of an E-2C eh?

i object. 'stupidest' does not allow for further growth in stupidity, and should not be used this lightly.

They’re not trying to run an economy. They’re installing a dictatorship. Visions of Hugo Chavez, followed by Maduro.

I can't wait to hear Marketplace tackle this in the coming days!

Too much of this seems like the administration is just testing how far they can push limits and test the constraints of executive power. The consequences do not seem like they are part of the planning of current actions at all...

Markets love chaos and unpredictability.

Economy? Loyalty and ideology are the only things that matter now.

Best case scenario with this administration.

They rescinded the memo, not the executive order. So we're not actually any better off. Keep the pressure on your reps and whoever else you can influence.
