Trump waives tariffs on Mexico, not Canada, for 1 month on most products
I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement

When talking to people who dislike UBI about UBI, they'll often say both that 'people need a purpose in life' and that 'nobody will work if they get free money'.
Studies in motivational theory have been around for years which generally agree that at a very basic level people need security first, not necessarily to motivate but to be in a position to be motivated. Repeatedly pay has been proven to be a poor motivator over time. By removing the basic insecurity that people face, you give them a chance to focus on actual motivating factors like job satisfaction, self-worth and realisation.

They took music from us when they killed the wireless headsets :(
I may be wrong here, but it sounds like it's using the wire in the headphones as an antenna. Hence the specific need and the general absence on modern phones as they don't have a means of reliably receiving that form of signal.

You also have to factor in the cost of your time. If it takes longer with one or the other that needs consideration too.

There's no extra 'U's. What you want is your right to exclude the 'U's you don't feel are necessary, it's not the same thing. There was no need for the 'z's but you guys couldn't help yourselves could you!?

Six Films Better Than the Books They’re Based On
The Shawshank Redemption - a good book (Stephen King) made into a richer and more complete movie. In my opinion, so few of King's stories were better on the screen than the original writing.
