A "workfare" "soup kitchen" and still the Republican mayor blocks it.

- They don't want state welfare they want private charity
- But then they don't want people getting handouts so they demand work in exchange for charity
- Then they don't want it in the vicinity of them (NIMBY)
Rock legend is feeding the homeless and his town’s mayor is not happy about it
The iconic rocker has no plans of stopping the operation to feed those in need.

I’m confused as to how the design and execution of this tariff policy wasn’t flawless. 🇺🇸

In the month+ since Jeff Bezos announced the WaPo editorial page would be advocating for “personal liberties and free markets,” there have been troubling resignations, at least one (Ann Telnaes) b/c of being silenced. But as of today, no real signs of substantive change.

The two semi-cogent rationales you hear for tariffs are:
1/ (protectionism) tariffs will re-onshore jobs and industries by eliminating low cost competitors
2/ tariffs are great negotiating leverage to get concessions/better deals

It can't be *both* though. The tariffs have to stay to make 1 work.

I like to include a few people from time to time that I disagree with generally but still have a good sense for things. Sometimes we do agree however...

Globalization was over. Get the fuck over it.

Trump's plan being shit is separate from this wild idea that a country can be exclusively service based. Where did this pipe dream erupt from? Some mutation of laissez-faire (the system free system)?

Wild to me the sentiment that America doesn't want to have manufacturing. Did you expect the world to just do it for you? We'll be the ruling class and developing countries can perpetually look towards us for service!

They can't have a middle class?

If manufacturing is so dismal maybe pay for it.

Türkiye will be (really already is) a major world power. They have natural resources, a robust agricultural sector and industrial capacity. Hopefully the US acts intelligently here and leaves Israel to its own spat. There is nothing the US has to gain in Syria...
U.S. faces new dilemma with Turkey’s S-400 in Syria airbase
Turkey plans to deploy Hisar and S-400 defenses at Syria’s T-4 airbase, raising tensions with Israel and the U.S. amid a shifting Middle East power balance.

Yes, crypto is a climate disaster and preys on the financially illiterate. But at least it's allowed Kim Jong-Un to steal the equivalent of $6 billion to spend on his nuclear weapons program.

He has a plan. It's pure oversimplified macro theory that posits everything can be accomplished with his (world's greatest!) negotiation skills.

See we'll just create vassal states out of our allies. They'll pay to be protected by a country that can't produce anything let alone a ship.

Can we please stop focusing on Trump and Russia? It's a dead cat story. No one's talking about how much Trump & his mates made manipulating the markets; it's all about "why didn't he put tariffs on Russia?"

Sleight of hand (except it's the equivalent of kicking you in the nuts & taking your wallet)

I’m just a guy who has obsessively made things for 30 years so what do I know, but I’d think factories take longer to build than the President of the United States seems to believe.

I’m not the first to point this out, but just in case you missed it on this Liberation Day, President Big Brain thinks his tariffs apply to illegal shipments of fentanyl, making the drug more expensive to American junkies.
