Trump’s taxes (disguised as tariffs) are taking America’s lunch money and are handing it to Canada. Canada is more and more replacing the United States in world markets.

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 10 months, 2 weeks agoI just watched a Matters Microbial episode on MicrobeTV, which for me, added an enlightening perspective on gain of function research.
Antibiotic over-prescriptions are already proven to be a dangerous way to cause pathogenic bacteria to evolve resistance to treatments. Some doctors still prescribe them for “just in case” scenarios, and patients…[Read more]

Sunday School 10 months, 2 weeks agoI have never heard anyone else compare English and Sanskrit but from what I know, you are correct. Many UrduGaelicHindi words also have the same Proto-Indo-European roots.
Take the word for the number ‘2’.

Hawley’s own proposal is essentially an unintentional confession of how tariffs work in reality. They don’t punish foreigners for producing foreign goods in foreign countries! They are a tax on imports, paid by the importer and the cost eventually paid by the consumer, even if the importer eats some of the tariff.
The government will collect m…[Read more]

@Unseen – I hope I was not read by anyone to be saying they want to completely destroy the economy.
No, not at all. However, I did entertain that thought myself at one point, when Trump allowed his sycophants to make a lot of money when he said “Now would be a good time to buy shares”.

Sunday School 10 months, 3 weeks agoWhat we need is a state for every disliked or hated minority. Nor just one for Jews, but one each for Roma (gypsies), LGBTQ, liberals, conservatives, females, etc. In other words, a complete partitioning of the world. And who better to take on the assignment than Donald Trump?
Alternatively, we could work harder on getting along with each other.

Project 2025 is less about governance and more about remaking the state in ways that require large-scale disruption. Doge was the first step. The rapid-fire blunderbuss approach that Steve Bannon mentioned is still happening. Naomi Klein’s book “The Shock Doctrine” had warning signs that match much of current MAGA blueprint.

Sitting in the sun outside Starbucks today, I overheard people sarcastically toasting (or roasting) Trump for the probable reduction in coffee prices here as Brazil starts to export its coffee to Europe instead of the USA. People are not going to play his game. Just ignore him and make new friends instead.
