They kept Wilson propped up in a bed for two years.

He can't pull city cops without mayoral approval. The resulting chaos would be in Trump's favor. I think his real move would to escort and monitor every NG unit with state troopers, or at the most extreme, block their deployment.

It also drives economic dependence in China for parts and maintenance.

They seem to be driving the country towards labor riots.

I wonder if that means rates could spontaneously decrease...

We're going to have to double check our bank statements, aren't we?

One could facetiously extrapolate that the US is currently what war based on its deficit spending. Hahaaaaa

He isn't mayor yet. You can't blame this on him.

But what no-name seller is making any kind of profit shipping two-packs of BBQ sauce that retails for maybe $1.50 at a grocery store? BBQ is heavy and would cost like $20 to ship from anywhere outside of the US. And why are all these shoppers returning them unopened?

That doesn't make sense in this context. What international shippers is selling only two-packs of Sweet Baby Ray's barbeque sauce and why are so many people returning them unopened?

What is the actual scam here? The article doesn't say.

Higher inflation means higher stock prices because more people are using equities as a hedge against inflation. It'll work until it doesn't.

I bet he's going to start quartering federal troops in private homes in DC just because he can.

Conversely, it took me two hours to travel the 11 miles from my home in Brooklyn to JFK. Usually it takes three different trains, but today one train stopped working so it took two buses and a train. It cost me $15.

I am always dumbstruck at how well-planned public transit is in Europe. I arrived in Geneva and the airport is also a regional train station. There is a train to the city center every 20 minutes, takes 12 minutes, and costs $5.

They're just going to dodge it by selling to shell companies in Vietnam or somewhere else.

I can't think of a single investment that went to literal zero in March, but it there was was one, you need to diversify out of it ASAP.

The robots each cost $3 million and require a technician paid $250k/year to keep running, plus parts.

They cut billions from public healthcare funding and the head of HHS is leading a crusade against pharma and medical science. Of course healthcare stocks are going to drop.

It's not just Vanderbilt. My local bagel shop on Washington is facing a possible 60% rent increase when their lease is up next year. They say they can't afford it and no one wants a $20 bagel, so they will likely close or move somewhere else with better rent.
