China is not screwing around. The United States has become a footnote. Supply chains, manufacturing, influence — China is flooding the zone all across the globe. As California doubles down on our low carbon green growth efforts, the Trump admin is doubling down on stupid.

What a bunch of whiny assholes. If it’s your primary residence, just say so. Here in DC we have a homestead exemption. You’re only eligible if it’s your primary residence. It’s not a big deal. Just don’t lie. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
