I appreciate the right of French people to hold a more nuanced and more deeply-considered opinion on Macron in all ways.

But internationally he does a fairly good job at punching bullies in the nose.

Yeah he does good internationally, he's just terrible for us locally

Ireland's FFG is in that category too. Their foreign policy has been borderline flawless. Their domestic policy has been borderline meritless.

This needs to happen. Most Canadian provinces are already excluding US companies from bidding on contracts and requiring that government funds deem U.S. products as they choice of last resort. The world needs to work together on this.

This is a tax cut for the rich paid for buy the poor. This is a regressive tax. Poor people buy cheaper goods (China) which are a larger % of their income.

“All relevant postal items containing goods that are sent through the international postal network that are valued at or under $800 and that would otherwise qualify for the de minimis exemption are subject to a duty rate of either 30% of their value or $25 per item” increases again June 1!

Against my advisor's advice, I moved what little I have out of the stock market months ago.
