It is very early days in the ongoing U.S.-China trade disputes. After round one, America claims victory.   China also claims victory.

Back in the 1980s, rapper Run-DMC put out a somewhat catchy riff titled “You talk too much.” The chorus goes like this: “You talk too much, you never shut up, I said you talk too much, Homeboy you never shut up.” I don’t know about homeboys, but there are plenty of other people who should, but never do, shut up. If you could get anyone to shut up, who would it be? There are many people I wish would shut the heck up, and members of the Federal Reserve are towards the top of the list.

It may not be popular to express in some circles, but for quite a while, Great Britain (and the Commonwealth) held on for dear life while Churchill coaxed more support from President Roosevelt. “Average” Brits “kept calm and carried on,” even as bombs reigned down upon them during the Blitz.
