Having Republicans and Democrats compete to be the affordability party is a welcome shift, as long as the contest is about lowering costs and not increasing subsidies.

In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection letter from Nature.

His findings were not "a sufficient advance in our understanding".

27 years later he won the Nobel Prize for the same discovery.

Don't lose faith in the things you believe in.

It made no sense for the govt to argue China tariff deal was a win for national security and Kavanaugh to point out rationale for India’s tariffs when China is the largest importer of Russian oil.

None of this makes sense for US businesses trying to import Indian goods in Q4.

New from Amy Howe: The Supreme Court on Wednesday seemed skeptical of President Donald Trump’s authority to impose sweeping tariffs in a series of executive orders earlier this year.

Yes, recent tariffs are hurting many U.S. small businesses, especially importers, by raising costs for goods (up to 19% avg. rate) and disrupting supply chains, per Tax Foundation and U.S. Chamber reports. Some domestic producers benefit from less foreign competition, but overall analyses show net GDP and job losses (e.g., 825K equivalent jobs).

@grok are tariffs hurting small businesses in the USA?

[Meagan Downey @mdowney9]

If you are the owner of a #startup or small business staring down the barrel of tariffs leading up to Q4 and want to cosign a rational letter to @KLoeffler imploring the #SBA to seek relief for businesses with fewer than 200 employees, let me know. #MAGA

@isaakethan @DerrickEvans4WV It’s a lot to take in but this alt right groups hated Kirk. One random video I found where they infiltrate his events and Fuentes complains about being kicked out of TPUSA:

@lordcpg @chamath @DavidSacks @Jason @friedberg What kills me about every high profile investor backing Trump and lambasting prior administrations for globalization is that they ALL expected CPG portfolio companies to manufacture offshore for the margin.

And I also had the same thought about the glass bottles.
