A Slightly Orange Cat

@MicroWave Trump and his surrogates have said at different times that tariffs would (A) pay down the national debt and (B) increase domestic manufacturing.

But if (B) happens, then tariff revenue falls. And if (A) happens, it will mean manufacturing remained overseas.

These goals are perfectly contradictory.

@MicroWave He served his country then betrayed his country. Now I have regrets and don’t care about his.

@MicroWave Conservatives have repeatedly said that government should not be picking winners and losers. What changed?

@MicroWave Ponzi schemes by their nature are short-lived; According to Wikipedia, Charles Ponzi’s original scheme ran just over a year before collapsing. All pyramid schemes require a pool of investors that is constantly expanding, which is not the situation with Social Security.

@MicroWave Next week: President mistakenly fires President.

@MicroWave I’m rather impressed with the UK on this. I had expected them to cave immediately.

Wow, it’s like an NYT Pitchbot headline: “Trump supporters are unapologetic, mask-off bigots. Here’s why that reflects poorly on Biden.”

@MicroWave I just want to get Covid for a day, just to see what it’s like.
