  • Security.#
    • @Mark_J_Perry Please be more granular. There is more than one kind of manufacturing. Building a ship is different than sewing a collar. [Link]#
    • @Patrick_am_I @Mark_J_Perry Read the other sentence and take the time to think about it. Manufacturing in areas of security interest has been ceded to others. [Link]#
    • @RomanP11 @Mark_J_Perry That’s a market decision, not a security decision. Trump can want it, but please don’t oversimplify the issue in a manner that suggests you don’t care about security. [Link]#
  • Tariffs.#

  • Journalism.#
    • Most of our news media have yet to catch up with retired editor Don Surber. — Winning, winning, winning, by @donsurber https://t.co/nysVuML4GD [Link]#
  • Financial security.#
