This is essentially adding another layer of tax or tariffs on imports, and more impediments to global trade. Basically, Trump is determined to stall trade with the world and fuck the economy.

It’s a metaphor, not “literal” army. And it is in the millions. Many are unseen as they come out when the streets are empty doing the garbage picking and cleaning, etc.

Japan is relying more and more on a shadow army of millions of imported foreign workers that is slowly changing its populace. Japan could see a right wing backlash to the changing demographics at some point as we’ve seen in Europe.

It establishes a benchmark for AI company’s valuation for later private investors into that company.

Houthis are probably on a witch hunt for that Israeli spy right now, a spy they likely have heavily invested in.

It’s coming. Protesters need to be prepared for it.

I would think it provides some protection.

It’s in the video. Is it not there anymore in the article?

Now let Tesla stock price follow his approval rating!

I don’t think it’s going to help them. long covid is past the stage of virus infection. It’s where the body is attacking itself.

Ok he’s looking at proposals to lift the sanctions, but hasn’t lifted them.

Didn’t he just repealed all the sanctions and tariffs on Russia?
