Trump had the cards but he has severely weakened his position and let China dictate terms. I'm with Musk about his opinion of his economic advisor (called him a moron)...

I thought the problem was not franking credits , which were brought in by Labor but abuse of franking credits in the low tax environment of Superannuation. Where a Mr Wilson and certain others had arranged their assets so they claimed $100s of millions of franking credits every year to the...

Excellent summary. It's only been 4 months! The USA will be in a total mess if this incompetence continues for another 44 months. I find it hard to imagine this being allowed. I think there will be action at some stage from the Republicans and the billionaire oligarchs who backed him. This...

Maybe 1 Ace

Saw this- too true. Even I didn't think he would give in so quickly. Trump caved in with China tariffs… “I crawled back faster than anyone in the history of crawling has crawled. Some say that it was a beautiful crawl. I crawled at levels never seen before. My crawling numbers have never been...

I have been here 20 years and 6 months. The site has had its ups and downs but is in an up period presently. I have to congratulate @Joe Blow for the well thought out continuous technical improvements which have resulted in a more cohesive community.

I have only voted once early and was asked, but that was 30 years ago. These days no one cares. Half tje people I know vote early. Hope the hospital visit doesn't involve more surgery,

China have not said anything. Want to make him sweat.
