Interesting quote from author Michael Loucks book "Climbing the Ladder: Climbing Higher"

". . .if the capitalist seeks only maximum profit without regard to anything else and accumulates significant wealth at the expense of the public, how long before they bring out the guillotine and give him a haircut?"

How long, indeed?

Trump increased the national debt by around $7 trillion last time , but that was a 33% increase. In comparison, Biden increased the national debt by over $4 trillion, but that was only a 17% increase.

If Trump once again increases the national debt even by only 25%, that would be over $11 trillion more:

Making the national debt over $50 trillion dollars.

The FOREX must be going insane right now.

First reaction: Gross.

Pictures of the damage to my big white pine. A 12" thick branch broke off, along with several smaller ones. They all fell on my huge lilacs. It's chainsaw and chipper time, I guess.

Our big white pine lost many big branches last night in the 'bomb'. It crushed our lilacs pretty flat. Power only flickered a couple times - small miracle considering where we live.

Pics tomorrow, had medical things over town today.

Remember in January of 2016, when hundreds of thousands of women made pink "pussy" hats and marched on Washington DC? And then nothing changed?

I really think that this time, it should be pink hammers. Note that you must check hammers, they aren't allowed in carry-ons.

I really should get out of the recliner and get some things done. Maybe put on long pants.

But I don't want to disturb Schwartzy.

A "geofence" is a virtual boundary associated with (usually surrounding) a geographic area. Devices crossing a geofence can trigger a response or report the event.

For example, a geofence surrounding a school could report devices entering or leaving, such as student phones or school-provided pads or laptops.

Advertising can be targeted by a geofence - surrounding a bridal store, divorce lawyer, or medical center, for example.

You may trigger dozens a day.

Since corporate profit margins are based on percentages, not absolute values; if import costs increase corporate profits will increase in actual value. The only downside would be reduced sales figures as those who cannot afford the price increases fall off the bottom.

In other words, tariffs only affect consumers negatively.
