Maple sap boils at about 212degF. By the time the boil reaches 224degF it is a heavenly treat.

GM needs government complicity to make Americans subsidize their profits through protectionism. This because of vacant American industrial policy and stagnant US auto sector investment relative to world competition. They knew it was coming - they were just too negligent to do anything about it.

Yeah, Ackman can fuck all the way off. Noem, Bovino, Homan, Vance, Trump are all a direct result of the complicity of rich morons like Ackman.

Got to hand it to Newsom: he could have stayed home instead he got on a plane and put himself out front in front of the world to call out the Trump bullshit. In my view, one of the few Americans worth listening to in Davos.

…and this Board of Peace thing… the biggest diplomatic mistake/embarrassment imaginable. The grownups have truly left the chat. The whole administration is culpable in this debacle.

I watched Carney’s speech this morning - I had not seen the whole thing so I took the time. Impressive.
Then I returned to my steam and saw this joker.
No words can describe the contrast. What a train wreck. Sad for America and the world.

There it is folks… extort me once, shame on you, extort me twice… time to look at alternatives.

Countries who value proper diplomacy would make such an abrasive public statement. But make no mistake, the EU statement on the weekend told Trump exactly this.

“All republicans are bad and all democrats are good” is just silly. It is also dangerous. Not all republicans voted for Trump and fewer support him today.

Kallas is among the best European politicians in the past 50 years. She is one of several smart, no nonsense woman to lead there. Marin, van der Layden, Sandu, Meloni - all principaled and even-handed in difficult times.

I know about the China trip. What is less clear is what Canada is willing (able) to do on EVs. Our auto industry is tethered to the (sinking) US auto industry. Trump is vengeful. He has leverage.
