You too, h'mmm? Although I do have to say that algae capsules don't sound so great either.
@Crash and @BaluBalu- Thank you both very much for your above comments. You have expressed my feelings exactly.

"Let President Trump try to correct the problems of this country."
@hondo- President Putin will happily correct the problems of this country using King Trump as his dupe.
@hondo & @Edmund- It's pretty obvious that you folks get really uncomfortable when presented with factual reporting sources instead of the usual right-wing garbage that you've been weaned on. Kinda fun seeing you guys get all riled up.
@Edmund- Why on earth would we want to have any governmental operations whose job is to insure accurate statistics? It's so much easier to make that stuff up as you need to. Welcome to the third world banana republics.

Well, this pretty well summarizes that Tax Foundation report:
Academic and governmental studies find the Trump-Biden tariffs have raised prices and reduced output and employment, producing a net negative impact on the US economy.
@hank- perhaps you overlooked the report's references to the economy??
With respect to Trump, please note that he is mentioned only once, and that was to point out that NOAA staffing levels were low well before he took office. I deliberately edited…
"Could a watchdog government agency similar to the CFPB be helpful with banks behaving badly?"
No worries... Musk will use his own mega-fortune to rescue Trump's gummint if the whole thing crashes (again).
Sure thing. (Please forget that you heard…
