Even Trump is not stupid enough to put a tariff on t-notes. The economy of the country and almost certainly the world, would collapse within nanoseconds.

At least I think Trump is not stupid enough. That is well short of 100%.

It took me a bit to get this comment... But don’t say it too loud. The Trumpzis will think they’re being very clever to tariff exportation of US T-notes... And the base would eat it up... sucking more money from our Chinese economic oppressors...

Glad to hear it! This is a strange way to maintain the threads of peoples' stories, and if you're not on the right section of the non-comments you lose track!

What's the source of this video? I'm dying of curiosity.

Kind of my point, it isn't. They'll be borrowing it, and our kids and our kids' kids, and those kids' kids, will be paying for it.

Muddling along. Modest Needs was a complete failure, I contacted BBB but doesn't look like they're motivated to do much about it. Got a class to teach for summer which helps, finances are tight. Hoping to get something for autumn. Social Security kicks in next month, finally, but jeez they're looking for so many excuses to slash that. Not Republicans, if I make any income, benefits cut.

We've had open carry (no license) in NM ever since the US Army stole it from Mexico. It hasn't been a problem.

It's a short drive to Nixon's grave.
