Is the new 145% China tariff "actually" payback for COVID? Maybe yes?
Note that China does not have the ability to project military power to USA shores - so there is no justification for the USA to take a war-footing with China. Nukes? Sure, but that is a 2-way street and mutual-suicide, so not part of the equation. That said, we also should NOT be financing a dictatorship's military - as we have since the 1990s - with anti-American trade-policy. As to Taiwan - which is at the focal-point (though not the whole picture) - we should try to get the same thing needed for Ukraine - a neutral country solution. This would involve removing it as a pawn for USA-power in the region, in exchange for China agreeing they may remain independent, indefinitely. -

Does living in Thailand drive you to drink?
Agree with you 100% on the above. Kudos for you for finding a suitable place to take care of you and help you on the road to recovery. I lost a brother and a father to the drink, it's a terrible disease and has shattered many families and destroyed many people's lives. I don't drink much, a couple of small light beers when socialising a couple of nights a week, and no alcohol at home. Friend of mine has been off the drink for over a decade after seeking help, he voluntarily checked himself in for 2 weeks while running a business, took meds for a year or so, and hasn't touched a drink since, that said, he does crave it though, but drinking 6 large ones followed by 2 bottles of red at night after work, everyday would have ended him if he didn't believe he had a problem. He actually asked me if I thought he drank too much, we used to meet up once a week with a few of the lads, have a meal, and a couple of beers, then play some stick, he would leave after his second drink, unbeknownst to me, he wanted to get home to drink more and not be over the limit (booze buses). When he asked, he said he had heard that I lost my brother and wanted to know how much he drank and then opened up, I said, black and white, no gray in between, if you want to come and visit my brother one day to see your future resting place, keep drinking, that hit him straight between the eyes. I have the utmost respect for him to this day, and of course am sad that my late brother couldn't have done the same, but his alcoholism was different, he had a lot of pain due to be busted up from accidents, and there is only so much pain relief, painkillers can offer, then it's the hardcore stuff. Best of luck in your recovery. -

Trump Wields Executive Order to Dismantle State Climate Laws
Well, this and the ban on illegal immigrants entering the US are the two best things he's enacted so far in my book. Climate change is a fake false waste of millions of dollars, and stopping illegals from crossing into the US will save billions of dollars. I take my hat off to these two consecutive orders !! good job ...
