The U.S. insists that any Mexican tuna sold in the U.S. must be "dolphin safe," meaning dolphins weren't killed by tuna fisherman, which was once common. Mexico says its fisherman play by the rules. The U.S. government disagrees. On Tuesday, the World Trade Organization ruled in Mexico's favor, allowing it to impose trade sanctions worth $163 million a year against the U.S. The WTO says that's how much money Mexico has lost from the U.S. unfairly penalizing Mexican tuna. http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/25/news/economy/mexico-us-wto-tuna/index.html I wonder where that $163 million is going to come from? Taxpayers? bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

Trump and his supporters love to talk about how "getting tough" with our international rivals - and partners for that matter - will teach them a lesson. Is it possible the lesson they're learning is that there's more of them than there are of him, and if they stand together against the bully they win? Is it coincidence that we've been fighting with Mexico over this for years, but now that Trump is in charge the WTO finally decides to rule on it? -- Drew

Otherwise: logic, Truthiness in her pretty-blue dress Fails. As with some plurality of the current dis-US Congress. AND with a %sufficient of the 'populace'. tl;dr Look, I am become ~~Death!~~ a Vulture Capitalist, the Destroyer of Societies. Rest case; it seems that we are, indeed Fucked until sanity decides to return (unless it has Migrated permanently?)
