With so many members of congress invested in grocery store chains and related supply chain why would anyone think that situation is going to improve for us.
Insider trading by members of congress is going on for the whole world to see and they're laughing at us.
Now politicians can buy stocks at a discount and launder dark money while corporations do stock buybacks.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, farmers are selling their land to real estate developers.

China is far better positioned to weather a prolonged trade war than the US.

China's economy is less vulnerable to trade wars due to its import-dependent manufacturing industry and its dominant role in US merchandise imports. The US, on the other hand, is more reliant on Chinese exports and has a smaller role in China's imports, making it harder for American consumers to switch to alternative suppliers.

"Other sources close to the president and two GOP mega-donors on Sunday continued to express increasing alarm that Trump’s commitment to his tariff warfare, including against longtime allies of the U.S., was not merely a negotiating tactic and that the president was in the process of tanking the American economy for little reason beyond his grudges and his long-running obsessions.

Confronted With Administration's Allegedly Faulty Tariff Math
“I am not willing to go public yet but I will say this: I don’t know if I would be this worried about what will happen to the economy if Bernie fucking Sanders were president,” one big Trump and Republican Party donor says. “That’s how bad this is, and there’s very little time to fix the situation and turn the ship around.”

Trump — in his own words and actions — appears determined at this moment to steer the ship straight into widespread economic pain, in the hope that the American people will somehow thank him for it."
