It's also super windy exactly across the bridge most of the time. Sucks for biking, I never could bring myself to do it

The cowardice of it being an unsigned letter is almost the most galling part. Sniveling authoritarian cowards

Do you have relevant advice for the former one?

Amen! Glad to see people appreciating and sharing "tax wealth, not work"!

Why does posse comitatus not apply here? Genuinely confused

Disgusting. CISA is absolutely critical to our national security. So much so that the first explanation of downsizing it has to be suspected intentional sabotage and treason. These experts aren't coming back

Sadly, we could. We, as usaians are choosing not to impeach him for flagrant emoluments violations. Greedy narcissists are gonna greedily narcissist, this is on us and his supporters (even if it's mostly on the supporters)

I do? I'm saying that there's no reason for the world to band together and implement tariffs on us. Low volume would be another reason not to, but we do export a non-negligible amount worldwide. Most to NA, but over 300B to EU last year

Because, as we're experiencing, tariffs are a regressive tax on your own populace and hurt the most vulnerable. Also, they don't have to. We're pissing off enough regular people that they're voluntarily buying made-anywhere-but-USA. Lastly, why provoke an idiot with a huge military?

They can and will dismantle American power just by not buying our debt and then supporting a chamge in the world's reserve currency. Trump is screwing us for generations

What I want to know is how many bonds we bought ourselves with our magic money printer in order to backstop rates at "only a little" above 5%
