The trade deficit isn't bad,

It's actually an indicator of

So tell us,

Exactly when and where
did you study economics?

The trade deficit isn’t an emergency – it’s a sign of America’s strength
The word ‘deficit’ may sound alarming, but America’s trade gap is a sign of its financial and economic dominance.

"...many people wish that the word were not real, since they do not much care for it. However (and if we are the first ones to break this to you we are very sorry), wishing that something were not so is not a terribly effective way of effecting change in this world."

"Anyway" and "anyways" are often swapped in everyday conversation — much to the chagrin of grammarians. Is this informal quirk acceptable use?

Hello #eggsky. When I am not obsessing over egg prices, I write music. I just released an album and I hope you don't mind me sharing it here. The title track happens to center around solidarity with #Ukraine and #Palestine.

If he can't make good on his promises to bring food prices down, especially eggs, what makes them think he can make good on anything else he has promised?
He says he can bring Peace to the World but can't control local egg prices?
Seriously?

I think Americans have to understand things won't go back to normal and no one is coming to save us. The self destructive decision to vote for Trump is going to cause long term pain, damage and weakness. We have to survive and try to rebuild something better. Generational effort sadly.

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin.
It's shameful and dangerous.
I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.
