Declaration of Independence. I just reread the Declaration of Independence for I recognized some similarities with our struggles today. There is a recognition that we are all created with unalienable rights. These rights derive from our creator not politicians. Maybe we should go back to our roots.

I’m not necessarily saying humans are too dumb to be worthy of our spot at the top of the food chain but I will say that if there were 100 gorillas and one gorilla took 55% of all the bananas the other gorillas would beat that gorilla to death with their bare hands.

We can take Panama. Panama has no army. It is not a member of NATO. We know how to operate the locks. The problem is the ports are still run by Hong Kong company. Do we want to run the ports too? If we don't make a profit, why do it?

Adam Smith wrote the Capitalism could create wealth. He also stated that without constraints, it would concentrate that wealth in fewer and fewer people. The winners would both rule and make the rules. We began eliminating constraints in the 80's. Looks like Smith was right.

The House included $10 Billion for farmers and restrictions on China in the budget bill. This is an indicator that tariffs are not just a threat but probably real. The $10 Billion is the first offset to farmers who will be negatively impacted by tariffs. Other industries need to step up quickly .

The crazy part about Elon Musk is that he has all the brains, money, and companies to do so much good for society and make the world a better place. But instead, he went the way of the dark side and is greedy, self-centered, unethical, loves facism, and abuses his power. What a shame.

It’s a battle of political leverage. Who can use tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or sanctions to create more political pain for the other leader. Forcing them to capitulate or face undesired consequences. How crazy would it be if China, Mexico and/or Canada initiated tariffs before Trump took office
