No it wouldn't. Explain what you think could to be any issues surrounding implementing what you suggest would be a better policy. Put your own "mind at work".

Trump administration set to suspend Jones Act to tame oil price

Which is a strawman response because it actually does not address the subject matter of what FXWish actually said. Maybe Iran hasn't defeated the US yet of course, but it certainly has the Joker card. The US military is most certainly Goliath; the ...

Not forgetting several billion other people who drive cars and farm equipment and a few thousand hospitals worldwide and then there is the small matter if industry, aviation, transport and a hundred other things. So, a handful of US oil companies ...

The bravado around extreme hours and “mediocrity” being hell feels less like ambition and more like insecurity dressed up as achievement. Emotional intelligence, balance, and the ability to build a life beyond work are far harder, and far more ...

What do you call a Ranian woman with an opinion? Anything you want to. She's already been stoned to death.

Iran operatives made offer to discuss terms for ending war: New York Times

An interesting issue. The problem is that Mr Trump did not have the legal authority to impose the tariffs in the first place. Technically this is called ultra vires. It is as if the tariffs never existed. You may have heard of this concept in the ...

Courts make decisions based on law. Should they require clarification as to what the law means with reference to some definition or nuance in economics, they will do that. Just as they will perhaps refer to a dictionary or similar if a word is ...

The new tariffs are illegal, but for a different reason

"Four years ago, every so-called expert in finance told you the same thing: America is done." Uh huh. Click bait. Another dolt

Never Bet Against America

'would now be entitled to an undeserved “windfall,” the likes of which the World has never seen before' I have always appreciated Mr Trump's gentle, almost shy way of suggesting something utterly without precedent. I find his modesty strangely ...
