Just got our new healthcare premium price. A 48% increase over last year.

There’s a saying that holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
Tariffs are the economic equivalent of that.
A country that enacts a tariff is drinking economic poison and expecting the other countries to die.

Why are we asking Ukraine for their natural resources instead of asking Russia, the aggressors, for their natural resources? Hmmm.
Worst negotiators ever.
Years/Decades from now, we will learn what Putin has on Trump.

You know what doesn't scream "everything is above board?" Firing the person who is literally in charge of ethics.
But we know how this plays out — they fire the independent watchdogs, then they deliver for their billionaire friends.
A cycle of corruption.

I believe Trump’s basic, natural instinct is . . . when the stove gets too hot, set the kitchen table on fire.

It's a powerful articulation of the problem with #cyberbarons consolidating government and economic power and the potential response -- genesis of a populist antitrust, anti-monopoly movement.
Could appeal beyond partisan divides.
