E.U. officials offered a simple response. The situation could have become a disaster, setting off an all-out trade war

A bad thing for the 1% on both sides and a the best long-term outcome for the 99%. “Global trade” exists to keep a few thousand people around the world happy and rich and you worse off for it.

This is a big point. I briefly took a job in Northern California two years ago and met more openly-racist bigots and transphobes than I ever met in my Appalachian hometown

Redneck here. Fuck Trump and fuck you for thinking I support him.

Hope this helps.
