What I did in my first post was try to respect the fact that that may be their view of things and validate their perspective, then kindly explain that I don't see it, and would be open to hearing more about what they see. I could perha

Thanks for the feedback, I suppose I can see how it reads that way, but I assure you it wasn't intended as such. I simply want to politely ask them to expand on their perspective. Kinda like what you just asked others to do.[1] [1] htt

That's great that it's obvious to you! To some of us, not so much. I'd love to hear more about what it is, specifically, that your eyes are seeing, so that I may possibly shift my perspective. Thanks! :)

Those are broader economic embargoes, not tariffs. A lot more is involved in that situation and it's much more nuanced than what's happening with tariffs today. Hence my comment, "sans near-total embargoes on a country&quot

Apples, meet oranges. Japan outright banning trade with all other countries is different than implementing tariffs.

To you . I find a great amount of beauty in appreciating how small and unlikely our existence is - in how important it is to us, and how unimportant it is to the rest of the entire universe.

I don't think it's productive to assume we know exactly why someone would use this, and how they would both implement this and discuss it with their children in their own home, and then attack them based on said assumption.

I'm similar to the person you are directly applying to. I also have a 5 and 3yo. Unlike the first OP, I don't get involved with the PTA and we don't really email with the school at all. I don't understand the emailing co

Sorry to hear that about your mom, that really sucks. Are you suggesting that all legal citizens maintain insurance, don't steal cars and don't flee crime scenes?

I very much appreciated 90s era IRC back in the day. I find community comparable to what you described in still-existing phpBB and phpBB-esque hobby-focused forums that I use regularly.

I've made no generalizations. I simply used OP's con artist phrase to highlight the fact that not all voters did what OP intimated. I'm sure that there are those who voted for Trump that did feel he was a con artist, to use o
