Well that's more sense than 45/47 and his lapdogs have. They want rates to drop. News out today that inflation is up to 3% in June. It begins!!!

The irony is that you may gain jobs producing the raw materials while lose jobs because the companies that use said raw materials become uncompetitive. I'm looking at the Auto Industry, amongst many.

Bragging about the revenue generated with this is doing the opposite. Even upping tariffs on stuff like Copper, Aluminum and Steel by 50% plus doesn't necessarily help the US consumer because it creates a supply shortage of domestic products driving up those prices.

It's just a new version of that silly chart. AFIK the 35% is meaningless because most goods are still USMCA compliant and they aren't moving off that. . . yet.

The TACO principal still applies. We've seen this 3 or 4 times already this year alone. An arbitrary deadline is set. Trump blows past it. Tariffs go into place, markets tank, he sets a new deadline. The goal here is instability. The world has already started to look to forge new alliances. The American economy will still need to import goods. On Friday I saw posts bragging about the revenue brought in by tariffs. If they're making that much money then 1) The US consumer is baring the cost 2) Manufacturing jobs aren't being created. You can't raise the price of steel and aluminum 50% and not see prices go up exponentially.

Remember when Ted Cruz buggered off to Mexico when a huge chunk of his state was without power because of a snow storm?

I don't believe I've said such a thing. But I do think doing things like abolishing FEMA will only allow for more of these things to happen.

There are HOV lanes on some highways. They usually fill up during peak periods as well as enforcement is tough. That being said, I drive an EV and EVs are allowed to use these lanes with single occupancy. It's a good reason to buy an EV. They should. There's a reliable commuter rail system in and out of downtown Toronto. In this instance we're talking about a highway that goes through Toronto. Most people using it aren't going into Toronto, they're passing through Toronto.

This is fine, but pointing out that budget cuts to the weather service could have effected the time it took to warn people is ghoulish behaviour? GOTCHA!!!

Why hasn't Trump gone down there to throw paper towels at the survivors yet?

Maple MAGA on Friday: Carney is ruining Canada. This will hurt Canadian jobs!!!! There's no reason to be this combative over a new tax! Maple MAGA on Sunday: WEAK!!!! What about elbows up Carney? He folded like a cheap tent!

Iran's nuclear program likely isn't. The only way to surely end it is with war.

But the solution is the same. War. Strikes like this aren't going to stop Iran, they're only going to encourage them. The only way to ensure they don't get Nukes is with boots on the ground.

This is not a partisan opinion. There's a debate going on about what damage was caused. https://www.coastreporter.net/politics/trump-grapples-for-upper-hand-in-debate-over-damage-caused-by-us-strikes-on-iran-10860583 Sure. Again back to the 2003 scenario where you're being pulled into a quagmire that only leads to war.

Maybe that's what they want you to think. The truth is, we don't know. Any definitive stance without solid evidence is only conjecture. Apparently both Iran and Israel were running low on missiles and didn't have the resources to continue on like that. Israel was paying a cost for this war too.

Has it? There's no independent verification. Because Trump can't keep his mouth and/or social media feed shut, I'm sure Iran made sure to move important items away from these sites that Israel had no ability to attack effectively. Apparently intel reports say that this only delayed their program. Trump obviously creates his own reality so he's fine with this being a huge success and moving on. But Iran can now keep making those Nukes in secret.

This sounds a lot like the WMD debate in 2003. The only way you'll ensure Iran can't make a nuke is to start a real war, not a covert B2 strike.

They were co-operating with the agreement signed with Obama.

I would expect them to be more insular. Hope everyone forgets about them, so they can achieve their goal. Does saying "Death to Israel" warrant a war? And some would say Zionism is religious zealotry as well.

The entire Middleeast hates the idea of Israel. And that's likely only escalated seeing what they've done to civilians in Gaza. It doesn't mean that Iran would nuke Israel. But it sure would mean that Israel would think twice about attacking Iran.

MAD is a thing. North Korea isn't nuking anyone. The one thing that's clear is that not having a nuke seems to make it more likely for the likes of the West to continue to bomb and/or invade them to prevent them from making a nuke. All these last two weeks have done is ensure Iran will be less transparent about their nuclear power.

Yes, because we all know bombing a country is the best way to win hearts and minds. Iran's best course of action would be to develop nuclear weapons. North Korea has them and every leaves them alone. Trump denying his own intelligence reports is hilarious. This strike literally was just for show. Iran can continue to develop nuclear weapons without any oversight now. The word of Trump means nothing.

I find having lower daycare costs and an extra few hundred dollars a month for my kids quite helpful. I guess it's just a perspective.

Are they any problems that have no flaws?

I'm pretty happy with those items.
