Sigh. While I am with Sorkin, I simply do not understand how it even makes sense to talk about state-by-state inflation. I guess if Bessent is going to spout bullshit, you have to fight fire with fire.

To be fair, Democrats will presumably take back control of the White House and Congress sometime in the future.

Trump is terrible for the economy. Even MAGA cannot deny this at this point.

I agree with your first sentence. I respectfully disagree with your second sentence. Unfortunately, MAGAs will never leave earth 2 and return to earth 1.

As long as Trump continues to hate on black and brown people he will never lose the MAGAs. If there is one thing Trump knows, it is his base.

Talk about desperation. Wow.

Wonder how long it'll be before we have lead in gas again.

I guarantee you, with 100% confidence, that no automaker is going to introduce wood paneling in response to these regulations.

I also have my doubts that the regulations will stick. They will be challenged and found to be invalid under the APA.

And I assume Cali will not change State requirements-and if carmakers need to meet their requirements.........
