    The trouble with a US-China trade war is it drags in everyone else. EU will have to apply quotas / tariffs to prevent Chinese goods (that would have been sold in USA) from flooding the market. China then retaliates etc etc

    The price of a cup of coffee is usually a terrible benchmark (e.g. vs. a Somali farmer's income) You're buying a service, not a product, and the cost of ingredients is almost a rounding error.

    Mexico: We'll stop the drugs and people when you stop the guns

    Mexico is doing very little, if not NOTHING, at stopping people from flowing into Mexico through their Southern Border, and then into the U.S. They laugh at our dumb immigration laws. They must stop the big drug and people flows, or I will stop their cash cow, NAFTA. NEED WALL!

    We all use Facebook through WhatsApp, but it's almost become a utility (prone to regulation) and how could they profit from it anyway? Has no advertising and data collection is now like plastic bottles awful.
