These people are so **** g'ddammned stupid. 

Excuse me, where is this exclusive to America while inclusive to each nation that charges America for tariffs for American goods sold there? Seems to me tariffs are a kickback between ruling elites in every society working a global economy. Kind of like income taxes on citizens choosing their ruling elites with democratic ballots or dictator's bullets, rule of laws punishing the electorate for not following legislated morality, legality, ethics, economic future growth.

What do you consider an Innumerate? my instinctive brain counts the numerators of a common denominator believed true cradle to grave life exceeds personally adapting in space daily here.

what is the basic mathematics for counting population limited to adapting in space living in series parallel positions daily here since conceived until dead so far? I have given the actual basic algorithm almost daily for last 3 years. Oh that's right you don't read what I post. Ignorance is done by choice. denial is done by choice. defying life 24/7 is the collective choices of ancestries lived so far.

Not my fault. I corrected my participation and still remained civil every day last 43 years. I only use cyberspace to stand my time as me where I am not intimidating anyone face to face. with the usual stance of "our way or the highway.". then there is the constant "We are smarter than you will ever be.".
