You know exactly why things are not more transparent -- because we keep electing the people who have a vested interest in keeping things hidden. But what are you going to do - vote for the other party?

If Liz Warren said the same thing, you'd be applauding.
I really hope Trump comes out and says that breathing is a wonderful thing, because then you'll finally stop and leave the rest of us in peace.

Our rail cargo system in the USA is the envy of the world. It's precisely because we have chosen to skew our rail toward freight and away from passenger that we have such a terrible passenger rail system. Our passenger trains share track with freight, which delays our passenger trains as they must yield to freight. In Europe and Asia, freight yields to passenger, and in many cases (if not most) passenger trains have dedicated tracks.
Rail freight is also what killed barge traffic on our rivers, though we do move a lot of aggregate materials via barge still.

As far as tariffs are concerned, you'll probably be surprised to find that a massive amount of right wing pundits are against them for exactly the reasons you state.
What I find funny is how people on the left have suddenly discovered Milton Friedman in their railings against Trump.

They don't have to. They only have to subsidize it enough to tank the rest of the world's auto manufacturing. Then, they become the only one left, a monopolist in a market with a huge barrier to entry. They can pull their subsidies at that point and rake in the excess profit.
This is a classic trade manipulation strategy. It's taught in undergrad business classes.

They care about it because it's exactly their plan - they tank the rest of the world's auto industry, then they take over. We've seen this pattern with industry after industry. This is why dealing with them is problematic - they are not operating in good faith.
This is why we have those tariffs. Divesting from China is of utmost national security interest for the United States and should be for the European Union as well.
And just because Orange Man Bad doesn't mean you shouldn't keep your wits about you. You strike me as the kind of person who would suffocate themself if Trump suddenly said he likes oxygen.

And causing massive damage to global economies and labor markets. We're looking at the gutting of the source of livelihood for millions of people here. According to the AI chatbot I just looked at, approximately 10.8 to 14 million people derive their income from the European auto industry and around 4.5 to 8 million people from the US auto industry.
This is why trade policy protects against dumping.

I'm looking at this thing, and honestly I can't see what the point is. An external keyboard with macros? How does that have anything to do with sound? Why does it take inputs and outputs for sound even? I don't get it. Why would I buy this thing for $400 when I can just plug my speakers into my PC and be done with it? There are plenty of software tools to reroute sound around from different sources to different output devices. Why would I need this cluttering up my desk?

1) Decades? I suppose if you mean around 18 decades. Mercury amalgam was invented in the 1800s
2) It's not. The mercury is coming from the fallout of coal burning. This is a poor attempt at diversion.
3) yes.

No matter how much or how little you make, you will always feel as though you are an inch away from poverty.
What you are really saying is that you don't want to make any sacrifices for your own family.
The thing with kids and finances is to just do it - it will work out in the end. It always does.
Get married young.
Have 3 kids by 30.
Don't worry about the money. It will come.
