Did Trump say that Isis prisoners were taken hostage by the United States? I guess we should ask for ransom.

Looks like itâs still hidden.
trump feels the need to address the public outcry to⌠pardon a corrupt governor who⌠stole money from a childrenâs hospital.

OT a bit but today I was in an all hands meeting for my division at my fortune 50 dinosaur company and the CIO (~4 levels above my director boss, almost certainly a %0.1er) said that both parties are in favor of tariffs i.e. the dems want them too just donât say it. Is that true?
Why would anyone want them? Itâs basically an extra tax for no reason.

not the moderate dems, but the bernie types do. the difference is dems want to keep union jobs in the usa while republicans want business owners in the usa to get rich putting the screws to the american worker. but that said, usually republicans are broadly against tariffs so i wouldnât even say theyâre in favor of tariffs as much as theyâre spineless in the face of trumpâs dumb ideas
The quicker you realize the people in charge are often there for no good reason, the better.
Being a god damn sociopath is like 100x more important than competence for climbing the megacorp ladder.

Developing economies want them to protect industry. Alexander Hamilton developed the infant industry protection in the US which led to our growth in manufacturing. The English wanted to just import raw materials like cotton from the US, process them and sell back the cloth. Tariffs on foreign manufactured products allowed the nascent industry in the US to become competitive. High tariffs in post WWII Japan and South Korea in the 1960s helped them develop industry as well. And earlier the English developed their industry with a lot of protectionism. Adam Smith called the British Navigation Acts, which gave Britain a monopoly on shipping that had anything to do with Britain or its colonies, the wisest commercial regulation in Great Britain.
Generally those reasons donât apply to the US at this time. We are in the Imperial position where free trade mostly benefits us and makes it difficult for developing countries to be anything other than sources of raw material.
