Looking at the stock markets, I am just wondering if #trumptariffs might not be the biggest case of market manipulation in the world! Buy, Baby, Buy?.

This is a sensible approach because unless you are producing similar goods locally or have resilient supply chains, imposing a retaliatory tariff is just imposing a price increase on your own economy. #retaliatorytariffs #trumptariff.

I don't get this online discussion about #WorkFromHome. If the company does something I don't like, I can always move on. The issue of #TalentRetention is not my problem.
