What’s the article have to say about why the selloff is strange?

• it reflects something more ominous as President Donald Trump tries to reshape global trade: a loss of confidence in the U.S.
• Global trust and reliance on the dollar was built up over a half century or more … But it can be lost in the blink of an eye
• the dollar has fallen 9% against a basket of currencies, a rare and steep decline
• It is no longer hyperbole to say that the dollar’s reserve status and broader dominant role is at least somewhat in question
• the ballooning U.S. federal debt, which is already at a risky 120% of U.S. annual economic output … Most countries with that debt to GDP would cause a major crisis
• he will force interest rates lower to boost the economy even if doing so risks stoking runaway inflation. That is a sure fire way to get people to flee the dollar.
• This is the first step down a slippery slope where international confidence in the U.S. dollar is lost

Hm, strange indeed. It’s just happening on its own and nobody can put their finger on why. Better say it’s “strange” and not “POTUS is intentionally destroying the US’s global standing via disastrous and illegal policy”

The next EO will be declaring access to a digital bank account and the internet a basic right. Right?

They should stop taking weapons from the US to teach them a lesson.

I don’t think so. The bill was written by a chemist. I don’t know what fentanyl or narcan are from a chemical perspective to be able to evaluate if the law would apply to narcan. It says this:

‘‘(e)(1) Unless specifically exempted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any quantity of a fentanyl-re- lated substance, or which contains the salts, isomers, and salts of isomers of a fentanyl-related substance whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation.

Let me be clear that I’m no fan of RFK, anti-vaxxers, or any fad diets. I am a fan of evidence-based nutrition and practicing moderation. I believe that a varied diet with lower-processed foods is best for most people.

Avocado and EVOO are much less processed, which is generally preferable to more highly refined ingredients. Refining removes a lot of nutrients and concentrates what’s left. That means you need a lot less of it to influence the balance of things within your body. It doesn’t make highly refined oils “bad”, but it does make watching your intake of them more important.

Specifically about the oils, seed oils are high in omega-6 and low in omega-3. Your body needs both and it cannot produce them. The issue comes from the fact that the average American diet has a stark imbalance of way too much 6 and not enough 3. Refined oils provide a lot of 6 but 3 is harder to come by. Getting a good amount of 3 means eating oily fish and nuts, and choosing more balanced oils for a more balanced diet.

The ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is 2:1 or 1:1, but for most people in the U.S., the ratio is actually a whopping 10:1 or even 20:1.

The company must have more than 500 equity holders and have more than $10 million in assets. If the company maintains a limited number of owners, they will never be required to go public regardless of their valuation.

And what did Trump get in return for his massive concession? Anything? What’s the point of a trade war if you back down at the slightest bit of pressure? What a fucking dunce. This whole thing is unbelievably stupid.

There is no requirement to ever go public, in the US anyway. I work for a multi-billion dollar company that’s entirely privately held. It just tends to happen because it’s the best way for the equity holders to convert their ownership into cash. It can be hard to sell a whole company because that requires someone to go all in to buy it and they must accept all the risk of maintaining its value. But you can go public and get tons of investment money without having to sell.

Why craft your message with the primary goal of not angering a bunch of snowflakes who are going to attack you literally no matter what you say. We’re up against people that think wearing a tan suit is a newsworthy scandal and electing a rapist is fine. Or do you need me to say “found civilly liable for sexual assault but never criminally convicted of rape”?

I assume CBS is doing back story spotlights on each of the 90 hostages Israel is supposed to release?
