They are idiots if they think feeding the troll will get them anywhere. They could spend the next year negotiating, getting a deal on paper, and having asshole trash it because his Diet Coke was too warm that day.
No. What that idiot realized was that China was going to screw those farm states that voted for the idiot. Also, he was informed that China (and Japan, it turns out) know how to play nasty and will cause problems with the U.S. debt that they hold. Looking around, he found he had no allies in the world to back him up on the trade war that is easy to win. So he decided to get back into TPP in the hopes of getting more support.
Or, he forgot he ditched the TPP and now discovered this wonderful new trade consortium and wouldn't it be the Greatest Thing for America (read: el Presidente Tweetie) if the U.S. could get in on it.
First rule of that idiot: he slimes everything he touches.
Soooo...el Presidente Tweetie claiming there was no collusion repeated often enough will make it so? And it is not clear there was or was not a crime committed...errr...unless you were in on all the memos and have been communicating with Mueller. Hey, if you have, could you plunk down here the his conclusions that no crime was committed. You seem so knowledgeable.
Companies keep buying because the vendors sell to upper management offering baubles, trinkets, and pink unicorns...all will be theirs if they install the magic software. Management goes to their IT department, which pisses all over the idea explaining all that will go wrong and what a waste of money the magic software is. Management goes back to the vendors and explains why they won't be using the magic software. The vendors respond with, "well, they would say that because our magic software will put them out of job, and it doesn't take vacations or require medical insurance." Management, now suspicious of the IT professionals they themselves have hired, reason that if they hit a home run by buying the magic software, they'll be able to retire early and the golf links will be all theirs. Case closed, software bought, hell ensues.
Last check of Wall Street shows they are tired of winning and are now running away with their tails between their legs. The Republicans in Congress are tired of winning too, so much so they decided to sit out the recent special elections...might even sit out the midterms to catch their breaths.
Yes, I fondly remember all the 80,000 T-34s the Soviets imported from the U.S. during WWII. And those Kalashnikovs, yep them was built in the U.S. too. And the entire Soviet Air Force used American built planes.
Now, are any other facts about WWII you'd like to invent?
The automobile was made and perfected over hundreds of years? Errr....I presume you intend to include yer basic ox-drawn cart as an automobile. Hell, why stop there, go back to chariots and Egyptians...although they probably stole the idea from Assyrians...who stole it from the Persians who stole it from...what do you know, the Chinese.
Even if you did know the cost of Facebook's services, you are still comparing apples and oranges. How much is your privacy worth? How do you put a price on that? Is your privacy worth more than someone else's?
No, they also charge for the OS and the interconnection of the parts and the OS. I'd rather that than have to pay for windows, or spend time monkeying around with Linux.
Really? Where are the conservatives out there demanding a fix for the Dreamers? Do we see them on FOX? No. Do we see them in Congress? No. The problem here is the Conservatives are ducking for cover lest they be forced into either saying (1) the Dreamers get to stay and piss off their allegedly Christian base, or (2) tell the Dreamers to go and show us in precise terms that the Conservatives have hearts of stone.
Playing to an easily played base isn't carrying any real positions. It's just playing to an easily deceived base.
What about el Presidente Tweetie's pregnant trade war is it that you do not understand? It and limits on immigration are merely the first steps.
The liberal position on immigration is the welcome people who WANT TO COME TO THE COUNTRY AND WORK HARD. It is what most immigrants do, legal or illegal. What's so hard to understand about that?
Errr...because most of the illegal immigrants to the U.S. have a lower rate of criminal activity that the natives, and work like dogs so their kids can do better than they? We used to have an American Dream before knuckleheads like Trump decided the American Dream was only for white folk.
Wrong. It turns out elder care relies heavily on immigrants. Now would you say Granny and Jed, hiring immigrants are somehow running their own business?
Hmmmm...high id...while you are complaining about all those new potential Social Security and Medicare contributors, who do you figure will be paying for yours? Congress and the President have already decided we don't need no stinkin' tax revenue. Maybe you figure the SS trust fund will run dry in 2034. Ooops, no it is close to being at even (with inflows matching outflows) now since it is a pay as you go system. The trust fund is merely accounting. They will have to go to the general fund to fund SS recipients...oh...the one that is currently on course to a trillion dollar yearly deficit. And Medicare runs out of its receipts in about 2024. You won't needing medical care in your dotage. You can just die like a good poor Republican would do so the good rich Republicans can live on.
I know that grad-school can be rough. As other have mentioned, advisors can be a bit ornery. Part of the problem there is the same that occurs in the rest of the economy; no one really knows how to train a good manager. So professors, who might be a bit odd to start (see reason below), wind up working their oddness on grad-students...who might just graduate and become damaged professors themselves.
A bigger reason, I believe, is that academia is more forgiving than the business world. Oddness will get canned in the business world, and I don't mean the usual crap anti-people managers inflict on their subjects. Odd in the manner of barking mad....well, maybe not entirely barking, but certainly yipping a bit like a deranged poodle. The oddness gets intensified because academia rewards individual effort, not team effort. So little oddballs get to spend a lot of time with their own brains...watering and feeding their oddness until by time of graduation, they can become true nutjobs.
Another problem for science is there are few women. That means you have a lot of little boys who don't know what do with one when she tells you in precise terms what your "issues" are. So they get no female feedback, which doesn't give a rat's ass about their ego. Their ego gets to grow unchecked and finds expression in being mean little bastards to the people they can get away with running roughshod over.

"I rather suspect that he has access to really good base information on the subject" What? Like some yokel on FOX News?
Yeah, good CEOs are a dime a dozen, why any failed real estate developer could be one.
No, the facts are biased against T. The WP is just the messenger.

They'd be indistinguishable.

Xieesh, you'd think he'd get a flunkie for that.
Hmmm....why does that ring a bell? Why, why, why?
Would you like to buy a coherent train of thought from Alex Trebeck?
Even if you did know the cost of Facebook's services, you are still comparing apples and oranges. How much is your privacy worth? How do you put a price on that? Is your privacy worth more than someone else's?

Trump probably is a racist, but that isn't why he's playing the racist card. He's playing it because his base is racist, and hence, he's playing them.
Not to mention her chain migration parents....Oooooo, look el Presidente Tweetie, *immigrants*!! Go Crazy!!!
Yes, well, you'll use up the Medicare and SS benefits you paid for in about 10 years after retirement. After that, we the people must fund your ass.
