    Not odd, I just got home and didn't know that it happened.

    Thanks for the contribution!

    LOL... trump supporters celebrating that Uganda president loves trump and his "talks to Africans frankly"...



    For trump supporters: Uganda's president seized power during a military coup in 1986 and was "re-elected" under controversy. Uganda's government is seen as one of the more corrupt in the world. While I know there are some similarities to trump are you so sure this is the guy you want to hitch your horses to?

    Not one of the worst Trump moments. But, I am pretty doubtful on the wisdom of this policy. Maybe it would have made sense a decade ago, but even then I'd hope there was a better way to handle dumping. Today, you're not going to be able to revive American PV manufacturing, but it should depress the segment of the value chain that is domestic -- retail. Maybe this is a roundabout way of saving coal by r****ding deployment of solar generation?

    I'm not up in arms about the PV tariff decision. It's phased, meant to give some American producers a chance to catch up, actually. Bloomberg (radio) has had some very convincing coverage of this recently. It will definitely hurt a few of the larger projects that are, say, halfway done and were counting on a bunch of cheap solar panels from overseas. But the estimates I'm seeing are that homeowner type consumers will only see a few % points increase in their projects. And as the entire technology keeps plummeting in price (projected to continue), this tariff will be a relatively minor speed bump.

    How many times do we learn of disagreement between what trump said to others... including leaders of other countries?

    I think I'm over ivanka and her tremendous legs and best body. I'm moving on to Tiffany.
    The chef who has cooked more meals for puerto rico hurricane made ivanka 'uncomfortable'.
