Trump Is Winning His Trade War. What Will That Mean for the Economy? - The New York Times
nytimes.com/2025/07/29/busines…
In the big Trump show, it is about the perception of winning...
If he will be really winning will be discussed in history, 10 or maybe 20 years from now. My guess is there will be little good we can say about this most incompetent grifting megalomaniac that somehow stumbled into the presidency in his first term and now got the taste to try it again.

Yesterday's flight was a weather-related mess (four-hour delay) and we didn't get settled until 3am this morning, but this view is rejuvenating!
I always like to run on vacation, usually to get a feel for the area in a different way. It's been a few years since I've done a trail run, and the short stretch of the bike trail at Playa el Combate felt surprisingly remote. Mostly shady, which was great!
It's always amazing how shade--even if it's partial rather than fully blocking the sun--can make otherwise unbearable heat tolerable.

More true today as that number has very likely gone up a bunch.
People don't remember that when the Nazi's forced people into the concentration camps, they stole all their property too.
People don't remember that when Executive Order 9066 happened, they stole all their property.
