This and the apparently radicalized anti-vax shooter who (it is alleged) murdered DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose (a married father of two, with tied on the way) and shot HUNDREDS of rounds at the #CDC a few weeks ago!

Nike takes the billion $ import tax hit or consumers pay it via higher prices. Or both. Higher prices, fewer shoes, lower profits. Q: Does the promised lower corporate tax rate offset this lower profit? #econsky #tariffs #trade

A corollary to "follow the money" is "follow the minerals."
