How can you say that? China has implemented tarriffs on US made luxury cars and SUVs and even been ruled against by the WTO.

If Telsa or anyone else is naive enough to go through with this type of deal, what is Trump supposed to do about it?
Trump's plans are (1) to end the asymmetrical trade deals that the last 4 four presidents have given us and (2) push to eliminate the existing tax code provisions that make it more economical to move manufacturing offshore and then import back in to the US. The US is pretty much alone in having such an inverted tax structure.
Protectionism works just fine - the 90 million chinese workers employed in industry as a testament to that.
Free trade only raises the standard of living of all parties if everyone is playing by the same rules - asymmetrical trade relationships don't work.
You were wrong to be suspicious because it is not in any way relevant. Your astroturfing of the incident is interesting.
You're wrong because your suspicions are not relevant. Why are you trying to blame the victim and lose sight of the real issue?
The purpose of the drone (military or not) has no relevance since it was in military waters.
Yes, you are wrong. There is nothing sinister or illegal about gathering military intelligence in international waters.
Who cares? In international water the drone can do whatever it wants.
And they'll tell you, very politely of course, to fuck off back to America.
And why should Canada have the right to stop anyone from entering Canada? Thought we were supposed to be building bridges, not walls.
The act of driving (especially in traffic) is mentally draining. Just being a passenger and looking out the window instead of actively driving will make you more productive in other parts of your life
It has nothing to do with generations - it's all about novelty.
Consider jet passengers; inexperienced travelers get excited/nervous about taking off and landing. After a few trips, experienced travelers don't even pay attention.
Look all the problems San Francisco is having. More businesses moving into the centre, turns it into an industrial park that shuts down on the week-end.
Doesn't have to be that way. Chicago has as much foot traffic on the weekends as it does during the week. Just build new high rise residences with retail shops on the street level. That helps a city reach the population critical mass that it needs to for downtown retail and restaurants to survive on the weekends. San Francisco's problem is due to politics and hostility to new residential.
So the mayor is studying ways to avoid an active-by-day deserted-by-night city. Probably this won't go through exactly as is, but these companies may be asked to leave certain residential areas.
The way to accomplish that is to build new housing downtown with retail/service/restaurants on the street level, residences on the higher floors and maybe some office space in-between.
If a person's gums are bleeding in multiple locations and have deep pockets - odds are very high the person isn't flossing.
The point was disputing that good brushing removes all the debris. To establish that brushing misses a lot of debris, the test would involve brushing first and then seeing if flossing removed any additional debris.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
