Most coins have two sides even if RaiGuy doesn't discuss anti-Semitic tropes. What do the coins look like in your world? Mobius strips? And the coin having two sides is his point and mine and many others here. Try to keep up.

The universe.

I doubt that after Brexit. I actually don't know whether the UK decided to keep EU level tariffs, or raised them again because their trade agreements are all expired. Talking about "tariff levels" is a bit silly and the media coverage has indulged it. When we say 1%, we mean on average...

When trying to determine the constitutionality of a law, Howard Lutnick is my first call.

Lie back and think of the empire . . .

I didn't see the gender angle. I figured he defaulted to dolls because Ivanka was the only one he bought presents for.

Did you get permission from OGtruthhurts to use this line? He's the OG, you know. And I suspect you do know. You probably live together, you two funny guys.

I suspect that raising taxes on "the rich" means doctors and lawyers are in the cross-hairs. The rich they don't want to hit, they will exclude like they did in 2017. That provision of the tax code, that lets passive income get a 20% credit but not professionals who labor, was serious bullshit.

I don't know. I think the fund would cover her. It's the characterization of this as some sort of slush fund or corruption. Here's the situation: Trump: Tish James, either you apologize to me and adopt my immigration priorities or I will have you investigated Tish: For what? Trump: For...

It's not a slush fund. It applies to any prosecution of any official as a result of their service. Which is to say, NY will be covering political persecution, as well it should. It removes one lever of power that the administration would seek to use. I'd bet money that the motivation for...

That's because India is much richer than Pakistan. The economic cost of integrating Pakistan and Bangladesh into the Indian economy would dwarf East/west Germany, probably dwarf squared but I'm not sure about that. I would imagine that India is not too keen on the idea. Bangladesh would be...

Link? Who in NY made this decision? The governor? Did the state just do it by magic?

Could you help me decipher Bradshaw's statement? I feel as though I'm missing a few things. 1. First paragraph: the government got ring-fenced access to the US market for British beef. That means British beef will be treated preferentially to beef imported from elsewhere. Seems good for...

It isn't going to be a trade deal. It will be a deal to talk about trade.

Not really. That assumes zero elasticity of demand. It's also ignoring the economic effects of foreign capital. Assuming full capacity, the trade deficit and the capital surplus should cancel out. Both consume demand.
