When Trump imposes tariffs on Colombian coffee, Colombian flowers, Colombian bananas and pineapples and avocados, on Colombian oil, it's us Americans who will pay those added costs. We're not even a week into Trump's term and he's already imposed a brand new tax on all of us.

It’s kind of incredible how long we’ve been forced to accept social media platforms that are openly hostile to their own users, suppress political content, and throttle third party links.

Apparently, taxing landowners for the first time at half the rate the rest of us pay and giving them 10 years grace to pay it (which we wouldn't get) is the politics of envy.

I wonder if they are related?
