@Sofia50020Sofia Sorry, BS. Times it by 2 and it’s 20%. As prices at restaurants go up, the tip keeps up on the percentage basis. Nobody deserves a 40% tip! Silly.

@themoviedadsc @JClarkNBCS Yes, but that would mean they are winning.

@AdamBKushner Not really a serious look at MAHA, right? Clearly no. Fact checking was so important at the NYT, but not anymore.
Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland all ban Fluoride, why?

@zinoman Nicely done with the piece on Penn & Teller in the NYT. I’m a longtime fan of the duo.

@DrNeilStone Discuss and critique ideas. Bullying and doing hatchet jobs on people discredits you, not them.

@ReneeLibby95084 @RWMaloneMD @SecKennedy Do you own stock in Pfizer? One must ask.

[Stephen Pedro Diehl @fossilrabbit]

@Sober_Atheist @RWMaloneMD @SecKennedy What do you base that on? The only choice for COVID-19 treatment is the vaccine and anything else is criminal? What about “if it’s COVID — Paxlovid!” Remember that? Not criminal because it came from BIG PHARMA? Take a breath.

@DrNeilStone @SecKennedy How did these 8 people, with credentials certainly as prestigious as yours (or more so), become public enemies? Did you actually look into the qualities of ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine? When did it become a crime to ask questions and offer criticism of any medical treatment?

[Stephen Pedro Diehl @fossilrabbit]

@MikeStobbe Your article today about the vaccine panel replacements said about Malone that he “… promoted unproven and alternative treatments for measles and COVID-19.” I wish you had detailed that more and gotten a response in reply to your statement? There are nuances.

@Puszkarczu72605 @CuseFootball @kylemccord16 @Eagles What is wrong with you?
Yes, South Jersey is basically one big suburb of Philadelphia. What’s horseshit is your attitude.

BREAKING: A jaw-dropping new analysis from Goldman Sachs reveals that Donald Trump's disastrous policies could cost the United States a staggering $90 billion in lost tourism and export revenue.

And it gets so much worse...

Tourism has been cratering as Trump shreds America's global reputation and his border agents continue to detain, terrorize, and deport innocent people. Reports of Europeans being improperly held for weeks have terrified tourists.

Last month, tourism plummeted 10% from the prior year with a 14% dip from the United Kingdom, 27% from Ireland, 28% from Germany, and 34% from Denmark.

Canadian flight reservations for the summer season have dropped by an astonishing 70% — directly impacting American businesses and vendors that rely on tourism. Some hotels are reporting an overall 25% drop in bookings from Europeans.

In addition to fears about traveling to the increasingly authoritarian United States, many foreigners are choosing to boycott and spend their money elsewhere. Trump's tariffs and hateful rhetoric have destroyed our national image.

According to Goldman Sachs, some $20 billion in retail spending from international visitors could evaporate into thin air. Coupled with the tariffs and the skyrocketing cost of goods, this all amounts to mass economic suffering for the American people.

In the worst case scenario Goldman Sachs estimates a massive 0.3% hit to the GDP, roughly $90 billion.

Trump's so-called Golden Age is turning out to be a new Dark Age.

@BenFranklin1171 @BillKristol What kind of slack jawed yokel doesn’t remember that the COVID years were under TRUMP?

@DemocraticWins Ugh. Stop with these stupid posts. We can do MUCH better.

BREAKING: MAGA world erupts in outage as Blackrock CEO Larry Fink announces that the United States may already be in the midst of a recession thanks to Donald Trump's disastrous tariffs.

He added that America has become a "global destabilizer" under the MAGA regime and he wasn't done there...

"I think we’re very close, if not in, a recession now," Fink said on CNBC.

"I think you’re going to see, across the board, just a slowdown until there’s more certainty. And we now have a 90-day pause on the reciprocal tariffs — that means longer, more elevated uncertainty," he added.

While Trump has dropped the tariffs on most countries down to 10%, pausing the outrageously inflated numbers that he temporarily imposed, he is still locked in an escalating trade war with China.

"Even if the U.S. continues to impose higher tariffs, it will no longer make economic sense, and it will become a joke in the history of the world economy," stated Chinese officials.

Just today, China bumped its tariffs on American goods from 84% to 125% in response to Trump placing an effective 145% on Chinese goods. In addition to skyrocketing inflation, these tariffs are going to destroy American small businesses who rely on those imports.

By slapping the tariffs in place so haphazardly and suddenly, Trump failed to give U.S. companies adequate time to resource their supply chains — meaning that many will wither and die.

Fink stated that Blackrock's clients are facing "uncertainty" and as a result the world's largest asset manager is "spending more time with more conversation with more clients globally than any time. Our job now is to be, you know, helping, calming, giving them, giving them ideas."

"This is not a pandemic. This is not a financial crisis. This is something that we’ve created," he continued. "As I said, also on Monday, United States, post World War II was a global stabilizer. We are the global destabilizer."

"That’s a very hard thing to say, because I pride ourselves of being, you know, bringing the leadership, bringing the conversations," said Fink. "But I will say the power of U.S. capitalism is still alive."

If these tariffs are not reversed soon, the damage could be irreparable. American economic growth will stagnate and countless millions will be immiserated.
