The head is probably one of those people that think hurricanes appear randomly throughout the year similar to tornadoes or earthquakes.

And perhaps a stern talking to by the orange person and waving a sharpie around a photo can persuade them to deviate from their path.

Ah okay, so everything the US does will be contested and taken away, check.

The Great American Island, where non-diseased eggs cost $3 a piece and smog colors she skies yellow.
Where ports send empty freighters back and forth to appear busy.
Where the lower class are enslaved to corporations feeding the rich.
Where criminals weaponize the lawbook to punish the poor.
The place where most sickness does not exist, people just keel over.
The Island the world leaves behind.

China will gladly be the economic decider, Russia the oppressive world police. And the US the petulant child blaming everyone else.

Yeah well the thing is:
If no one enforces the judiciary’s edicts, but they all say aye to whatever trump’s new decree of the day is then Judicial is just standing there foot in mouth …

Just about what they are doing now.

He accomplished all he set out to do, with one caveat, because he stood in the bad limelight his image and monetary value took a serious nosedive. This last part is why he now is standing in the back, yet leering around the room wherever the president is.

The one thing he was aspiring towards did receive a huge blow, he was racing to become the world’s first trillionaire. And it might just be a setback that he can catch up with, but for now he does need to focus to try and crank all his stocks back up…

I am not familiar with any of the tipping laws, but what prevents an employer (now) to withhold the tipping jar from employee’s wages, especially now, under the norm of non taxed, in effect non official, incomes?

So, before one would get (income+tips) - taxes; and now only Income - Taxes because on paper the tips don’t exist?

I do not want it, but in a way I would have schadenfreude if in the most polluting areas of the US (at least) severe localized smog appears, like in China the last decade…
