***Plastic straws are banned in San Francisco, at least if you want to drink a soda or lemonade. Those smoking fentanyl, however, have been able to get them for free, at taxpayers’ expense.

There was also the time five years ago, when the [city helped pay for a billboard]('https://www.ktvu.com/news/san-francisco-supervisor-drug-overdose-billboard-sends-wrong-message') that showed smiling, glittery partygoers. “Do it with friends,” the public service message said, urging drug users to consume with others so they could treat a potential overdose.

This was the only election news I cared about....

[*]Germany is deploying troops to another country on a long-term basis for the first time since World War II.
[*]It's putting thousands of soldiers in Lithuania, a NATO member that borders Russia.
[*]It described the move as an effort to protect NATO. Germany's defense spending is also rising.
[/LIST]
Germany's armed forces, the Bundeswehr, announced on Tuesday that they'd created a new brigade, the 45th Armored Brigade, to be stationed in [Lithuania]('https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-better-positioned-attack-europe-before-ukraine-war-nato-lithuania-2024-2?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com').

It will be the first long-term deployment of German soldiers to another country since World War II, the [Associated Press]('https://apnews.com/article/lithuania-germany-troops-deployed-nato-kaliningrad-belarus-583e693c36c7a51bb798ca2016ecf493') reported.

The new brigade is made up of several battalions and will have about 5,000 soldiers and civilian staff, the Bundeswehr said this week.

It added that the brigade's command facility was already fully operational and that the aim was to have it at full wartime readiness by 2027.

Lithuania — which borders the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad and the close Russian ally Belarus — is one of the countries that has sounded the alarm the loudest that [Russia could move beyond Ukraine]('https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-not-stopped-in-ukraine-all-europe-problem-lithuania-pm-2024-3?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com') to attack elsewhere in Europe.

It's also one of NATO's biggest defense spenders by proportion of GDP and one of Ukraine's biggest allies, describing Ukrainian troops as the ones who are [protecting all of Europe]('https://www.businessinsider.com/give-ukraine-weapons-they-die-european-security-lithuania-pm-2023-2?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com').

There are already NATO troops in Lithuania, on a rotating basis, with a multinational battle group led by Germany. NATO countries have also deployed assets such as fighter jets and air defenses there.

Germany's defense minister, Boris Pistorius, previously said, "With this war-ready brigade, we're taking on leadership responsibility on NATO's eastern flank."

Lithuania has also been strengthening its [border with Russia]('https://www.businessinsider.com/estonia-latvia-lithuania-building-hundreds-bunkers-defend-against-russia-ukraine-2024-2?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com').

Seems familiar. Are they calling it Operation Barbarossa?

Interesting read.

Partisans across the board think their taxes are too high: [Republicans]('https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-senate-gop-budget-leaders-huddle-white-house-reconciliation-bill') (65% too high), independents (61%) and[SIZE=5] [Democrats]('https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate-dems-foreshadow-more-forced-votes-block-trumps-emergency-orders') (51%[/SIZE]). The drop in those thinking they pay too much comes mostly from Republicans (down 11 points since March 2024) and independents (-11).

[SIZE=5]How can 51% say too high, but vote dem for spending and raising taxes. Some real dumb folks![/SIZE]

Meanwhile, an increasing number of voters think the rich are not paying enough. When asked what bothers them the most about paying federal income taxes, 45% say it is the affluent not paying their fair share,[SIZE=5] up from 34% in 2019 and 28% in 2014.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=5]Some real good propaganda regarding "rich don't pay enough" the last few years.

Republicans’ biggest gripe with taxes is [government spending]('https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/congress') (45%), while Democrats (73%) and independents (44%) are more troubled by the wealthy not paying enough.

How frightening is that!! They vote for that spending garbage and then worry about the rich and how they can get THEM to pay for THEIR garbage. Insanity![/SIZE]

The [sweeping tariffs]('https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/02/economy/key-takeaways-from-trumps-liberation-day-tariffs/index.html?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo') announced by US President Donald Trump on Wednesday target not only economic superpowers but also financial minnows. In fact, a White House list notes some territories with no economy, and no people, at all.

That is the exact case of the Heard Island and McDonald Islands, an Australian external territory in the southern Indian Ocean, which was hit with a 10% tariff.

The CIA World Factbook describes the uninhabited islands, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as “80% ice-covered” and “bleak” in the case of Heard Island and the McDonald Islands as “small” and “rocky.”

Economic activity there essentially ended in 1877, when the trade in elephant seal oil was ended and the human population of sealers left the remote islands, which are located en route from Madagascar to Antarctica.

Another Australian territory targeted by tariffs is the Cocos Islands. With a population of 600 people, the territory sends 32% of its exports – ships – to the US, according to the CIA Factbook. They now face a 10% tariff.

[HEADING=1]Stellantis to temporarily lay off 900 US employees in response to tariffs[/HEADING]
Jeep maker Stellantis said on Thursday it will temporarily pause production at two plants: one in Windsor, Canada plant and another in Toluca, Mexico.

As a result, there will be temporarily layoffs for 900 employees at their American plants. Those locations include Warren Stamping and Sterling Stamping plants in Michigan as well as the Indiana Transmission, Kokomo Transmission and Kokomo Casting plants in Indiana.

The company said it's doing this as it assesses the medium and long-term effects of tariffs. The Trump administration's 25% auto tariff took effect earlier Thursday.

[HEADING=2]Trump’s Tariffs Were Supposed to Boost the Dollar. Why the Opposite Happened.[/HEADING]

While President Trump has always claimed to want a weaker dollar, the consensus among investors was that his policies would strengthen it. Turns out he was right, but perhaps in the worst way.

On Thursday, stocks tumbled in the U.S., Europe and Asia following Trump’s unveiling of a raft of punishing “Liberation Day” tariffs. What was more unexpected is that the U.S. dollar tumbled against most major currencies. The WSJ Dollar Index, an indicator based on a basket of currencies, has now lost more than 5.9% this year and is below where it was on Nov. 5, before its postelection rally.
