Exactly.
I feel bad for the people of Vietnam, who since 2017 worked hard to develop legitimate, alternative supply chains for the US, trained their low-income workers how to sew, and shored up their infrastructure and ports.

The tariffs are a gut punch.

His shtick is getting old. At the last minute he will declare some unverifiable win and how he got them to cave and thus the tariffs are no longer necessary.

I’m ok with the baseball HOF election, especially Ichiro. He was a unique talent. But CC in his first year of eligibility? I’m not seeing it. Winning starter for a long time but ERA close to 3.80 and just over six inning per start. 1st ballot should be for the truly elite

Nippon should be allowed to buy US Steel. They’re an ally and history has shown they are much better managers in this industry. Only issue is Hyman Roth will have to change that line in Godfather II
President Biden to decide fate of Nippon Steel's $15 billion bid for U.S. Steel
Nippon Steel's $15 billion bid for U.S. Steel has been referred to U.S. President Joe Biden, giving him 15 days to decide on a tie-up he has said he opposes.

This Reagan biopic with Dennis Quaid is just awful. I’m not a Reagan lover or hater but this is just shallow swooning over a much deeper and complex man.

Thanks Amazon for taking three dollars that I could have bought a nice baseball card with

Trump’s economic shtick is so predictable. Saber rattle to spook everybody (25% tariffs on CN and MX) but leave enough of an unquantifiable out (comply on illegal immigrants and fentanyl) to declare he won without implementing the idiotic threat.

This Elon Musk documentary on Amazon Prime is nauseating. I get people fawning over his technological genius but these people are all saying what a great and altruistic person he is. Way different than Walter Isaacson’s book which seemed pretty balanced
