Tariffs don't punish foreign governments. They punish American families. When we tax
imports, we raise the price of everything—from groceries to smartphones to washing
machines to prescription drugs.

Can't speak for all industries, but in home improvement, there is no doubt that retail price increases have exceeded what is justified by cost increases alone. https://t.co/lOT5jYMu6t
@NancyAFrench@DavidAFrench Wishing you all the best, Nancy. I have too many friends going through the same thing right now. Praying that the outcome is 100% successful.
@GasBuddyGuy No doubt. Gas and food affect spending power nearly in real time. Closest thing we can get to an instant reading. They are an instant read for nearly every consumer. Housing and interest rates have longer horizons.
"Look around on this 'Evangelical' generation, and observe whether amongst them less indulgence is given to luxury, lust, or avarice, than amongst those whom you so detest. Show me any one person who by that Gospel has been reclaimed from drunkenness to sobriety, from fury and passion to meekness, from avarice to liberality, from reviling to well-speaking, from wantonness to modesty. I will show you a great many who have become worse through following it. ...The solemn prayers of the Church are abolished, but now there are very many who never pray at all." - Erasmus, 1529.
@MyDealSecrets Received a home warranty with our home. Year 1 paid by seller, so no brainer. We paid for year 2, and it paid for itself with an expensive furnace repair. Paid f/3rd year, and it was a bust. Bottom line: a good hedge against hidden problems early on but not worth it after that.
"In the two months studied, the seven most partisan politicians reaped more than four times the coverage of their least-partisan colleagues." - @StartsWithUs
Partisan primaries elect them. Partisan media amplify them. Then we wonder why we're so divided.

Community colleges and trade schools have a critical mission: to prepare more people for skilled trades jobs. That’s why #LowesFoundation launched our Gable Grants program – to help ensure young adults are ready for satisfying, well-paying jobs in #skilledtrades.
I don't think people fully grasp how much of Protestant Christianity is going to die off in the next 3 decades.
68% of Missouri Synod Lutherans have seen their 55th birthday. It's 57% of Southern Baptists.
There's no major denomination where a majority are under 45 yrs old!
@SkyeJethani I agree both are concerns, but fundamentalism gets the nod due to this trend: Mainline denominations, which often lean progressive, are literally dying off. See this data from @ryanburge --> https://t.co/zp4qx7CsGQ
