I guess they never played Civilization.

Biggest question about Trump's 100% tariff on China is whether they will quickly "negotiate." In April they did. But they have now had months to get ready. Seems likely they will respond like Brazil and do nothing. That means the tariffs go on on Nov 1.

I loved this movie. Go see it. I've seen it twice.

As it hurtles around the south-west, “One Battle After Another” also races through genres, from action flick to caper and buddy movie, with a touch of pastiche Western. The zany adventure is a compendium of America

As an Illinoisan, one of the world's largest soybean producers, this is heartbreaking. I stand with our farmers.

A rift between American farmers and their Chinese clients as a result of Donald Trump’s trade war has allowed Brazil to cement its place as the world’s soyabean superpower

American soya farmers are miserable. Brazil’s are ebullient

’Jane is not alone in reckoning this is a big growth area. Citadel is looking for US physical gas specialists; Balyasny and Qube have started trading physical gas in Europe; and Jain Global last month acquired Anahau Energy to fast-track its own business in the field.‘ www.ft.com/content/f03a...

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

It's lovely to see siblings so close. You are lucky indeed.

Are you implying authors won't let the editors do their job? Lol.

The Chief Judge of the ND of Illinois today released a statement saying she has not authorized the NG to guard the building, either inside or out. Security is handled by the US Marshalls and Court Security. Seems telling as to how many of them feel.

This is my biggest fear. They so dominate the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq, or tech funds, that "everyone" owns those 7 to 10 stocks. And when they sell-off, "everyone" is going to see their portfolios tank badly. There will be few who escape.

It's in Racine County. I'm not sure if this is the Kenosha one because they have a second one in Mount Pleasant.

I see it as a record of friends and family lost. Even if they never look at any of it ever again. A little unnerving to sleep between the drawers though.
