Everybody pissing and moaning about the old folks better save their money as they’ll be old in a small number of decades. The us has lowered its tax regime over these decades without lowering the costs associated with being old. And it’s

Data please? Is it now failing to find errors or weaknesses or suggesting less useful or incorrect alternatives? Or both? Or just failing to make pertinent comments bs the users text?

As Krugman and others have written, there’s a bit of a double whammy hitting the us right now: interest in their debt is weakening along with the currency. I can see them content with anything that makes imports more difficult, but higher

Ottawa is losing its shirt trying to get a tram line up and running. Maybe bad design or equipment, maybe too cold but dedicated bus lanes (as with Boston's silver line) would seem to have been way more sensible. Easier to plow and n

For starters, it’s due to management distaste for the things. Given how funding for us research has been handled this year, that is sufficient to end consideration for that approach. If not for vaccines in general.

Keep in mind that you should rethink your communication mechanisms when you have to deal with medical professionals. Healthy? Yeah use voicemail. But otherwise they view their time as more important than yours.

Is any country discussing retaliation or reciprocity or are they just throttling back until they understand the process? I would hope that non-US to non-US shipment is unchanged.

And the US is doing its damnest to convince it to buckle down and develop without relying on its (recent) traditional partner. Given this incentive (or opportunity if you prefer), it’s up to the Europeans to deliver.

Walmart has pretty much all of its product line outside the us. And the thing is trying to be Amazon with the option to shop all sorts if things to their store for purchase.

There’s only one relevant old fart politician for this tariff bs.

err, things like Etsy and other crafter-sized companies, including antiques and other things. Don't know whether used books will be affected as I've not bought any recently. E-stores like Amazon or LL Bean or others at scale mig

For at least the near term, parcels won't be shipped into the US. Once things stabilize, they'll figure out who'll pay the tariffs stemming from suspending de minimus. But it's going to affect small companies outside t

Any German readers? Is this in response to the removal of de minimus or something else related to the varying tariff scene? Had some issues re de minimus here in Canada and I thought Australia made a similar decision recently?

FWIW, KFC was (and still is I think) known as PFK in Quebec back near the turn of the century. Gotta conform to local laws and all that.

The people who might be offended by “cracker” form their customer base. If a public company can’t grow it’ll die. Nobody will buy their stock.

Probably trying to expand the regional and age aspects of their customer base. It’s a problem when one’s customer base can age out on you…. Neutralizing the “geographic feel” can also improve survivability in today’s hypersensitive environ

Is it under fire or just under fire in the US? There's a whole lot of pharma/biotech that is located outside of the US which is fully capable of drug and technology development... Which is quite fortunate, given that the US has j

I suspect, without proof, that fertility will rebound to some degree whenever the general population feels financially and socially secure. There’s no need to have children, so it has to be an option that doesn’t seem inaccessible like it

Remember, if you’re not the owner you’re trading your life experiences for somebody else profit. On salary there is no overtime and it’s a crap shoot waiting for an options payout.

Solar on the roof doesn’t take up much land nor affect the view much. But that would be fine grained thinking which is too much effort.

If the tracking can be done in realtime, AAA doesn’t require guidance. Merely fill the appropriate volume of space and wait for collisions.

One wonders where the power is going to come from for ai, crypto, EV’s, climate moderation and manufacturing (particularly things like aluminum)…. Perhaps this is why the current governments are trying to wish EV’s away? And there’s going
