Another problem that tariffs tend to cause are counterfeit products, such as car parts.

I don't think people really understand the Prince Harry security spat. It's about having armed security which he is being denied even if he pays for it.

Another good article that more than 50% of an imported product sales price actually goes into the US economy. www.frbsf.org/research-and....

Looks like Saudi Arabia is using the same playbook for oil as in the first Trump administration, try to hamper shale oil by allowing prices to be lower despite the negative $$$ consequences but improve their other needs!

Not sure I understand the stock markets reaction to GDP and PCE. Clearly the US economy is at a precipice and the numbers don't show that anything good is coming. I guess we'll see a reaction when employment numbers sour or is it optimism that the fed will cut rates.

The US economy dash just lit up like a christmas tree but in this fantasy administration, those are fake and we're running better than ever!

Zelensky must realize that a ceasefire is just an end to violence, Russia will never relent in trying to destroy and pacify all of Ukraine. A weak, Russia puppet is the endgame!

Anyone notice that many turn to biblical affirmations after they've been humbled instead of being humble from the start.

Not a Shadeur hater but maybe humility will do him a favor.

I understand the Jaguars wanting to trade up to get Travis Hunter, definitely don't understand why you give up a 1st RND (2026) plus all the others.

Investors are ignoring that there are still tariffs and that the likelihood of a recession is at it's highest. I guess they just like the lack of a $h!t show everyday!

Never really paid much attention to food dye debate. I remember some when our child was a pre-teen. No benefit, some clear evidence it might be harmful, FDA doesn't study, I am baffled that it takes so long to remove the worst. We'll see whether manufacturers can sway RFK or go to Trump.

Trump is using Powell etc. as a scapegoat for his disastrous policies, when the numbers equate to a recession he'll just blame the Federal Reserve and people will believe him.

Watch out, conspiracists have moved from just saying "I read it" or "heard it" to "it was in the news" and "it was a study".

Illegal immigration has always been frowned upon but the old arguments were about $$$ and priorities. How much does it cost us to ignore versus how much does it cost us to police. Plus, how effectively can you police?

Go figure, another mass shooting where a parents gun is used. We should be punishing the adults who negligently allow others access to their guns.

Just remember, Trump never said anything about higher wealth so wrecking the global economy and corresponding oil prices is on brand.

One of FL's secrets is that they prefer Federal money directly into State coffers because they invest it and delay spending to rake in the profit. ExplainS FEMA discussions!

Some part of me believes the design of all the chaos is to ferment outrage into protests and then to violence so martial law can be enacted.

Go figure, the Senior Center renovated a set of bathrooms but did they put an automatic door for wheelchairs, NOPE. Worse is they have a door latch so you can't even just push open the door.

Trumps understanding of economics is like someone's sitting on a couch watching waterpolo. They don't know how it works and they don't see what's going on underneath!

Congress never envisioned that when they delegated power of tariffs for National Security to the President that one day, it would be abused and destructive.

The fact that I had to learn that between 1957 and 1968 some people got a less effective MMR should be evidence enough that HHS is not helping anymore.

There should be a study of basketball coaches. Betting teams rarely perform when their coach starts overreacting to everything.

Disconnected my power in FL county in 1996 and just got a check forwarded to me from my childhood address (brother still lives there and probably the forwarding address I provided) with a refund from the power company. Took 30 years, WTF!

I think the general consensus of Trump voters are: 1) He's fighting for us 2) Any downside is temporary 3) We'll be better off

Use to like the Amazing Race. First, it was always on when NFL would run into 60 minutes so CBS would preempt it. Now, this season, the show essentially let the worst teams to just vote the top two teams to the bottom without having to lift a finger.

Article is interesting in that 45% of imports are for manufacturing input. Everyone is focused on cars, as an example, but shit is going to get real fast...how is toilet paper made? www.frbsf.org/research-and....

Vaccine hesitancy can be helped similarly to solving underage gun deaths, put responsibility on the parents. Health insurance companies denying coverage for those forgoing vaccines would have a profound affect.
