Retaliatory tariffs are all right and good but if Canada, Mexico and the EU want to get this over with sanctioning the hell out of Trump’s oligarchs seems like a force multiplier.

Thank you. I've been thinking of making a book of cover art.

Both turn out to be very helpful in negotiations -- making sure that my writing is not too abrupt and that it doesn't come off the wrong way. (I tend to be very direct which many people appreciate but not everyone does.)

Claude is a much better writer. I often have it review ChatGPT's writing. Claude will streamline it, then I feed it back to ChatGPT which often finds it to be improved.

I've been using AI tools extensively. primarily ChatGPT and Claude.
