While NATO still exists and we're threatening your territorial integrity maybe Canada should invoke Article 5.

I do. Instead of taking the risk he’ll probably create a pretext and just hang on. Remember, by then he’ll have shown he can ignore the courts and will have full control of the House and Senate. Barring, of course an outlier like that our postings here managed to change the course of history.

Ken, Given your background and skillsets you are very qualified to comment on this cross border trade stuff. How do you see things playing out on the ground? For example, the BC government is ready to screw red state Alaska because all essential stuff goes by truck. Of course the Alaska Governor is complaining to BC not Trump because he's a moron but no matter that seems like a lot of leverage.

Gender?

Binary stars must be somewhat relieved.

So where do we go from here? I'll guess you won't distribute the economic security you accrued for your family in a futile defense of our failing democracy or let yourself become an identifiable profile for attack for when they start looking. I sure won't. Probably the conversion of American society to drone status is at least a decade or more away so I'm good; I have have a few different contingency plans in place for just this possibility. But you have kids and their futures to consider. So what are you willing to do now?

Maybe she does have a soul or the capacity to realize she is capable of totally doing wrong.

Fine by me as long as Powell pulls a Volcker and hikes rates aggressively. Of course the US economy might fall into recession as it did then but oh, well.

19% of Columbia's endowment is unrestricted, apparently. https://endowment.giving.columbia.edu/endowment-performance-and-management/

Unless shit happens.

Thank you but it seems to me that if Columbia's plan, or any institution with that level of endowment, requires an annual infusion of cash equal to 3% of reserves to operate without drastic cuts and changes they really ought to restaff their economics department.

And when it all goes to hell you can sell your Bitcoins on Etsy and eBay along with your Beanie Babies and Pet Rocks.

They don’t. My ignored question was why can’t a billionaire college ride out a few years without harming this year’s students and diminishing important programs?
-
To be completely honest Nigel, I think you need a bit more time in the pickle barrel. For some of us it’s more than just shooting the breeze. We live here. You don’t. Try harder to see the difference.
-
But if'n you got the money, honey you have the spending advantage. Otherwise it's not an endowment it's golden handcuffs.

John, you know the university ropes, for sure. Here's my issue: Trump is, over bogus stuff which is his thing, cutting $400M in Grants, Funding etc. to Columbia University. Of course, he's an ass for doing it for the obvious reasons. Columbia is cancelling this and that now to show all of the pain it causes. But, Columbia has a $14.8 Billion Dollar endowment. CD interest would make up more than the $400 Million. Please tell me why, for at least for some years, Columbia couldn't just absorb it?

Oh, good. Another unidentified but highly enlightened contributor. Thank you for nothing.

Could be his Commodore computer doesn't have search and he's reduced to sorting through old newspaper clippings and Parachutist Magazines.

I suspect most of the Christian Veterans, like Hegseth, are still on board. Why not? They never believed that Democracy was the solution and Trump is just speeding things along.
-
And after the War he spent 30 years flying for Trans World Airlines! Well, no surprise there.
-
It's because he is completely out of his depth in this forum, plain and simple.
-
Because like too many conservatives here and elsewhere they either don’t believe the news, think it’s fake news, or consume right wing propaganda and think they’re truly informed.
-
I’m thinking they simply believe that Trump works in mysterious ways.
-
True, but it’s you making the claims about how a big business chooses who to layoff something that you know nothing about.

Do you have that level of HR experience in a downsizing big business?
