"I don’t think what we just witnessed in terms of economic policy and tariffs is going to be good for America, but that’s a specific policy," Obama said in his remarks at Hamilton College in New York. "I’m more deeply concerned with a federal government that threatens universities if they don’t give up students who are exercising their right to free speech," he said.

While there are tons of problems with the TSA, protecting those that aren't the brightest is part of the reason unions exist, isn't it?

Many countries do this to bring in wealthy investors. In those countries there are requirements to invest in local economy, not sure about this one.

The wealthy use these to travel every couple of month, allowing them to skip residency taxes by never being anywhere long enough.

However a US one is just dumb, because US tax laws are one of the only ones that will tax you, as a resident, when you are not in the US. So the types of people who typically buy these won't go near it.

The article states California is negotiating with other countries to exclude California from those countries' retaliatory tarrifs on US goods.

There's nothing the federal government can do about that.

I really liked the giant pretzels at a brewery near me. Sat near the kitchen until I saw the box they pulled them out of. Learned I could buy 75 online for the price of 5 there.
