It's clear that there was no reasoned thought behind the tariff push. Tariffs can work if implemented in a principled way and coupled with a complementary industrial policy to develop critical sectors of the economy. Instead, we had

I'm suprised the powers that be on HN allowed this to reach the frontpage. Usually these kind of stories are flagged off the front page in seconds.

Most dictators are elected democratically, once. What makes them a dictator is them not relinquishing power. It's too late to protest after a dictator is officially a dictator. They know what will come and are usually prepared with a

Ben Franklin was asked what kind of govt would the newly formed United States have. He was sadly right when he replied 'A republic, if you can keep it' One of the (many) pretexts for the war, at least from Trump seems to be that I

The ruling was 6-3 with Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh dissenting. Kavanaugh's dissent is particularly peculiar as he wrote 'refunding tariffs already collected could be a “mess” with “significant consequences f

This was an execution, plain and simple. There is no way around it. There are videos from multiple angles and there was an eyewitness (the lady in the pink jacket) literally two feet away. I am hoping against hope that people regardless of

An imprecise, but workable start might be to count the dollar amounts in question and evidence of direct conflict of interests. In both, the current administration has far exceeded previous ones. As others have pointed out, the degree and
