Probably a lot. One that comes to mind Is that Germany threatened countries close around it. And the US has recently been salivating about Greenland.

That is either common knowledge or it should be common knowledge. Tax policy really means everything and it is NOT talked about enough.

Time for some to take a nap, the conversation has turned ludicrous.

True that Unions are not perfect. Nothing is. But, they work well in Germany, but not in America. Harley Davidson went broke and was purchased by UNION WORKERS. A person can make a case for unions (I do). And a case can be made against them. In general Americans talked about their NEXT GENERATION getting better from WW2 until about 1970. When Unions started losing members and power then each newer generation has succeeded LESS than the generation before it. Until today when we are on the brink of total rule by the top 10 %.That is not a world like I grew up in.

I loved the TV comedy show "According to Jim" with Jim Belushi & Courtney Thorn-Smith.

Normal thinking would agree that it would/should be easy for the wealthy to pay school property taxes, but don't forget , they are greedy for MORE money. To them money is GOD. VOCATIONAL education was NOT eliminated from LACK of INTEREST. It cost MORE than just pens, pencils and textbooks. VOCATIONAL requires equipment. In my home town (back in time) we had 2 high school, college prep and vocational 50% of 8th graders went to Vocational. Girls went to hair dressing classes and food prep classes. Boys went into car repair, car body work, and even accounting assistants. That is a short history on the disappearance of Vocational schools in the US. I am sure that books have been written about it. Also, it could be googled. Believe me, I am NOT lying. I LIVED it.

Actually, the Greenlanders are worried and so are MANY CANADIANS.

I wonder where the humanity-hating parasites find all these "protesters"...At insane asylums is my guess :)

Are they worried about being liberated from the colonizing parasites in the City of London and Brussels? I would like to be the first to welcome Alberta as our 51st state :)

It is a moral imperative that we dust off the Monroe Doctrine :)

It is probably too late...We are too far gone.

If you're not going to buy your TV or stereo or an import car in the next 5 years tariffs really do very little to be worried about.
By the way do you know that the US sells 40 billion of food to China or China only sells $4 billion dollars of food to us.
Just as important as as tariffs are the incremental barriers that governments place on imports of products such as overly cautious inspections for foodstuffs or chemicals, just one example is that the FDA took 6 months or a year longer to approve coated stents, while they were approved in Europe. I know this because I had them when I had my heart attack many years ago and my heart doctor was surprised I had them.

You're not going to be flying on a chinese-made plane in a long time either because the FAA has not decided to allow the China aeronautic to fly in the US.

I'm just quoting some of the things that governments do. Has another example the other foot is that Australian is not allowed American chopped meat into their country while they sell 20 billion of meat to the US.
By the way I've been in importer from China for about 40 years so I think I know a little bit of what I speak.

This is probably also going to kill at least a few hundred billion of business for wholesalers and employers as well as make it a lot more expensive for the average person when they go shopping in Walmart. Everyday item is that average people buy such a sneakers or green beans may go up things like jeans t-shirts etc it's going to take one or two years for factories to relocate to places like Vietnam and Malaysia the other decided to only give 0% import tariffs to the US.
Just my two cents

You better get used to all your fruits and vegetables going up that are off season
 

Avocados are mostly grown in Mexico blueberries and strawberries and other fruits of grown in Venezuela and South America, all those items will either be in short supply or vastly overpriced compared to this year.
thankfully we grow beef,chickens and eggs, most feel is from Australia sorry guys you can't get your real parmesan anymore reasonable

:) :)

Could this possibly be your impression of money projected on the rich? Seriously, the wealthy people of whom I am aware are full steam ahead for education and often gifts are awarded to schools through them.

The people you are profiling for wealth sound as though they are scrambling to make ends meet and taxes make them sweat.

Avocados can be grown in Hawaii, California and Florida.

Blueberries can be grown in Washington, Oregon, Georgia, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, California, and Florida.

Strawberries can be grown in fresh strawberries are primarily grown in California (roughly 90 percent annually) and Florida (about 8 percent), followed by New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington and many other states seasonally.

And now 24 hours later, it seems the exemption is being walked back. Another course reversal/flip-flop.
