Whadayaknow—two sensible smart anti-Trump editorials in a single WSJ opinion section, one dubious about the new highly partisan chief federal labor statistician, the other mocking the Administration’s latest idiotic lie about the tariffs. www.wsj.com/opinion/all-... www.wsj.com/opinion/trum...

The WSJ Opinion board members don't care about much, but they do care about their MONEY.

Murdoch is reigning in his Frankenstein who's lost his utility. The article about the Epstein bday album was the first shot across the bow. Expect more WSJ editorials like this until the Manchurian Cantaloupe is shuffled offstage to "spend more time with family" and Thiel installs Vance.

BTW, I liked your take on it being reasonable for companies that are heavily subsidized by the government, or use tech created or funded by the government, to in essence be taxed by government on their sales. Different Q is: "Should all of these high-tech sales be done in any case?"

That's because the WSJ while it may support Trump to the extent that he serves the business and finance world (i.e. lower taxes) will always side against policies that it deems harmful, i.e. tariffs, and things that threaten confidence, like censoring accurate data.
