Imagine if China decided to invade Taiwan like they've been threatening to do for a while. They would instantly cut off all exports to the US, because that's the smart thing to do. They would probably blockade Japan and other coun

Right but I'm saying in general stories using nothing but anonymous sources should be held with a higher level of skepticism than ones with documented sources or even corroborating anonymous sources. This doesn't seem to have eith

Unfortunately bad faith actors also use "anonymous sources," to push agendas that aren't exactly an accurate representation of what's going on. The FBI and CIA are notorious for this. Example. "Anonymous sources in

I second this. I haven't had to do the typical recruiter channel since 1998. I have plenty of people I've worked with in previous jobs whose companies were looking for good people. This only works if you work hard enough to make a

That's because you are assuming the DPRK's culture is like western culture. It isn't. They have secret police everywhere and if you say anything that isn't positive about the state, you will get disappeared and your whol

I think they take them for granted not realizing that things can get much worse. I think they do this because they don't understand it. Ever been on a call with a company and they have to tell you, "You'll have to call back,

I just replaced my XS Max (from 2018?) and the only reason I did is an elderly relative lost hers and I gave her my old one. 5.5 years is a good run, it could have been longer.

Tariffs were the catalyst, but high interest rates certainly put downward pressure on markets, which was the intent, to cool inflation. Also the profitability underperformance of AI is very similar to all the .com companies who constantly l

A reciprocal tariff is a tax or trade restriction that one country places on another in response to similar actions taken by that country. The idea behind reciprocal tariffs is to create balance in trade between nations. If one country rai

Are you arguing that those countries don't impose tariffs on our goods, or you don't like the method of calculation?

The steel man argument is: 1. Bring jobs back on-shore. Lots of US companies shut down factories over the last several decades and shipped jobs to Mexico and other countries. The UAW supports the tariffs. https://uaw.org&#

It's a multitude of things. - High interest rates trying to combat inflation. - AI, tech's latest, greatest thing is looking like a flop, at least from hype perspective. - Tariffs. It will go back up after a quarter or

Yes, this is the theory. Also to return manufacturing to the US, for jobs but also for national security. If a major war breaks out, which is more likely than in the past 2 decades, we can't effectively fight without a strong manufactu

I would argue the opposite. Grow up with a safety net and you don't take it seriously. Group poor and/or with people depending on you, you understand the task at hand. I goofed off a lot in college until I was tired of partying an
