Yes, but that's not what my post is about. Trump can't impose any specific tariffs that exclusively target Denmark because it's part of a little trading bloc known as the EU. This would be considered as a tariff on the entity as a whole–triggering a unified response from the EU.

Trump is now threatening Denmark with tariffs. Does he realize that he can't exclusively target Denmark? It's part of a trading bloc called the EU.

Is this really such a divisive topic in the United States? I'm not sure what the rest of Europe is like, but over here, the terms are pretty interchangeable. I feel most people say Happy Holidays, though, but mainly because it's kind of a catch-all for both Christmas and New Year's.

Glad to hear it’s helping your husband! Unfortunately, despite trying various options, I haven’t noticed any benefits yet. Does he use a specific strain?

How does corporate America funneling money into Trump’s pockets benefit the American people? Isn’t this also a potential violation of the Emoluments Clause? I have come across discussions about Trump proposing that the US should establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve by acquiring 1 million...

It’s interesting to read that Dr. Shore is also in some way involved in researching Neurotrophin-3. Several companies and researchers seem to be focusing on it lately, including the French company Cilcare.

Since you care so deeply about veterans, you must be pretty upset by Project 2025—which plans to further cut Veteran's Benefits.

Neuralink has been approved for trials in Canada. And then there's the whole thing of Elon Musk becoming an active part of the US government, which will surely yield him certain benefits (including Neuralink). Good 'ol nepotism. Hopefully this won't adversely affect any trial patients.
