Brinksmanship may work to a degree when there’s a huge power imbalance, like the situation in North Korea (though there’s no way to tell if that has worked until there’s actually a deal), but China holds more cards than we do in a trade battle. China has every incentive to maintain a hard line with this, and they…

Talk about losing credibility, would it really take THAT much more effort to press two more buttons on your keyboard to actually make a word?

Even ignoring the much more complicated situation of where the cars in each market are actually built and sold (effective tariffs aren’t the same as the nameplate rates), Trump’s negotiating strategy (if that’s what you can even call his foaming at the mouth over Twitter) is criminally stupid.

You r idiot.

So... You’re saying that we should have taken this up with the WTO instead of randomly throwing tariffs on products instead?

No You r an idigiot

You have to admire their staunch opposition to changing tradition. They’re even going to go as far as not winning a World Series for the 70th season in a row.

The people responding to the protestors have a lot in common. I can’t white put my finger on it.

I know comedy’s subjective, but if you’re going to joke up about somebody’s death, the punchline ought to be funny.

When dealing with weighty matters, your gallows humor needs to be on point. This wasn’t that.

Hey, I’m a little slow so help me out. This is obviously an attempt at a joke, but I’m struggling to find it. In what scenario would a basketball coach ever say “try a 2-for-1”? That means nothing. And, even if it did mean something (again, it does not), what’s the “2-for-1” that you are implying he tried instead?

It’s the very same people who say ‘why didn’t he just comply’ that are the first to say the ‘cops feared for their lives.’

The settlement discussions started like this:

(Full disclosure: Maserati wanted me to drive the Quattroporte, the Ghibli and the Levante so badly that it flew me to the northern Italian Alps, paid for my hotel and all of my food and alcohol. Ironically, I didn’t get to drive all that much.)

you also have to factor in the trade in value they gave for the car. Often times the dealer will bury some of the discount from the new car being purchased by giving the customer a better value on their trade in. While the numbers work out to the purchaser the same, on the dealers books the used vehicle may have a…

As a sales consultant.... Thank you for writing this! So many people get mad and storm out when we don’t budge on price and try as we might, people don’t seem to realize that there isn’t thousands of dollars in markup like there was even just a 10 years ago. The internet has litterally changed how people buy things…

Not surprised at this. A #16 seed has never beaten a #9 in NCAA tournament play.

Just a constructive heads up, Tim. The article doesn’t mention Cassie Sharpe’s nationality. I’m not as up on women’s snowboarding skiing, so I had to google her to satiate my curiosity. For the record, she’s Canadian.
