Yes, importers pay the tariffs, and these costs are generally passed down to customers through higher prices. However, tariffs can also harm foreign businesses, potentially devastating their economies. These businesses may need to lay off employees or even shut down operations. Since the U.S. is...

Employers will be compelled to raise wages to attract U.S. workers, which will, in turn, boost overall wages. Replacing workers in the service industry will likely be easier than in the agriculture sector, as visa programs already exist to support agricultural workers. A significant cost...

The problem is that the friend either does not want to or does not have the means to help the gang victim indefinitely, especially when other friends who are even closer in proximity are not providing as much support. The gang victim is unlikely to succeed without outside help. I do not have...

He isn’t focusing on people based on years of relevant experience. Instead, he’s choosing fiercely loyal individuals (mostly) who are deeply frustrated with the agencies they oversee, aiming to make significant changes. Nearly all the agencies have either “gone woke” or are compromised. This...

No one cares about the supposed high IQ of the media, the celebrities, the "experts", etc.

No one cares that Trump is a convicted felon; most Americans know the charges (including calls for putting him in prison) were politically motivated. Calling him and his supporters racist doesn't work anymore, either, as more and more minorities are voting for him. Hispanics, African Americans...

I have accepted that I will have good days and bad days. Even on my good days, my tinnitus is very loud (high pitched and I hear it over most things) but it is less intense. Sometimes I hear my tinnitus, pause, and tell myself, wow this is so loud. I go back to whatever I find interesting like...

Do you have ear pain from the TMJD?

Getting tinnitus has changed my outlook in that I care more about contentment, being in the present, and removing unnecessary stresses or distractions from my life. I remember my pre-tinnitus days where I was stressed over even small things which now seem silly (and I believe stress played a...

God is described as a spirit who is eternal and everlasting. No one created God. God created time through the creation of the universe, and He Himself is not bound by the constraints of time. It is difficult to grasp what a world without time is like. The dictionary defines time as measurable...

Not only were these men apostles but they were also Jesus' closest companions who spent night and day with him. So, this is nothing unusual. Even today, among the more conservative crowd, best friends are usually limited to people of the same gender except the spouse. It was also unbecoming for...

This verse is targeted towards a certain audience. Paul's letters show he faced different challenges at different churches. The Bible shows that women prophesied and prayed out loud (and definitely not as much as men) which would happen in a church. Also during those times women did not study...

It is reasonable to presume that animals worship (in their own way) and recognize God. God communicates with the animals, one example is God directed the animals to enter Noah's ark. Another example is Daniel in the lion's den. The Bible focuses on God's relationship with man, so we should not...

The husband/wife relationship dynamics transcend inequality issues. While the husband has authority, he is instructed to die for the wife if need be (modeling how Christ died for the Church). This is not expected of the wife. Some men may be willing to give up their authority over this...
