I haven't looked into it deeply yet, but headline numbers say the tariffs did bad things to inflation. I could be proven wrong, but that's definitely the first impression from a .3% bump despite steady interest rates and weak consumer spending. Hodge will hang his hat on car prices holding steady, but they're also slower to pass on costs with CEO's that are also more likely to try and eat the them for political rather than business reasons. I'd expect tariff hits in the auto sector over the next quarter or two. Meanwhile the price of food is going to keep getting uglier for multiple reasons as well.

Pretty sure Oprah wasn't on the list.

Oh I can easily afford a table saw, I just don't have the space for one. Especially for a tool that I'll only rarely use. I ended up going with a Makita framing saw. It's maybe heavier than I needed, but it's easy to mount into a jig if I need to. So far I haven't needed any accurate rips I couldn't do freehand anyway, but the option is there if it comes up.

I mean sure, if you want to make up your own meaning for right wing, then go for it.

Pretty sure Bill Gates and maybe Bezos are on there too. Not sure on Bezos, it's been a while. They're protecting the gravy train in any case.

Liberal has nothing to do with peace loving, or pacifism, that's a right wing delusion they use to pump their courage before committing more atrocities on them. No different than 'God forgive me for what I'm about to do'.

Right wing revolutions end with the left in political prisons and slavery. Left wing revolutions end with the aristocrats/oligarchs, and their families, in the ground. It's really just a question of what flavor of violence is about to happen.

The nukes are recent, and probably not tactically functional. It's purely a cost benefit analysis. As long as NK isn't in serious motion to cause more damage outside their country, than it's worth to stop them, no one will.

I feel like I should have studied the fall of the British Empire more. It seems like there would be a lot of useful lessons in there.

That sounds a lot like a lot crimes.

Found out a month after buying our new house the reason we never saw our neighbors. They were in the midst of a divorce, but still living in the house, with the wife's boyfriend. So visits were a bit awkward. Fortunately that was right after the housing crash, so they were only stuck in the house for 2 years.

A lovely young couple bought the place and spent a year renovating it to live in with their kid...then divorced 6 months later. I don't think couples should live in that house any more, there's too much bad juju stored up in the walls.

Fuck it, start a controlled burn at the border when the wind is out of the North.

How dare Comey and Brennan actually do their jobs. There's an executive order against that now.
