    g.gearloose Fin trumpo Tech gnl Oct 17mmmmm   At 4:50 pm on October 10, when traditional markets were closed, Donald Trump launched a new salvo in the simmering US–China trade war. Likely referring to China’s dramatically expanded restrictions on the rare earth minerals it almost singlehandedly controls, Trump posted that he would retaliate with an imminent 100% tariff increase on the country and new export controls on software.   Rob Arnott on the timeline.

  I was in New Orleans ( I think) in the very late 90s and I took this picture, catching a bus for the convention. I applied a filter to it, and it has some feeling of the moment for me. Flash forward: The head of the company that put on the conference later served jail time - for fraud, or cooking the books, I guess.

 Can you believe the Wall Street Journal? "Trump Explores Bailout of at Least $10 Billion for Farmers -The move would come as the agriculture sector warns of economic fallout from Trump’s far-reaching tariffs." He has his big deal maker fun, screws over the farmers in the process, uses socialism to make good, and call me a radical pinko! The Gaul!  Checking out the sports page ..
