The Trump administration has crafted a draft bill — ordered by the president — that would declare America's abandonment of World Trade Organization rules, according to Axios. The bill essentially provides President Donald Trump — who has argued for a better position for the U.S. in big trade pacts — a license to raise U.S. tariffs at will, without congressional consent and largely outside of the international rules governed by the WTO. The bill, titled the "United States Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act," would give Trump unilateral power to ignore the two most basic principles of the WTO and negotiate one-on-one with any country.

It comes as a great comfort to me just now
I'm having a hard time just now as I ran clean out of Happy Pills a couple days ago. This because I was busted flat and so unable to cover so much as the copay
Just a few days off my mess won't make me crazy but it has made me feel physically sick. It's hard to describe but among other symptoms I get the same kind of chills as when one is feverish from the flu
Happily day before yesterday I finally got paid More Money Than G-d for completing the macOS USB Function Driver that I for Fresco Logic. For a solid thirty hours I not so much with great glee but with the narrowly driven focused of an obssesed madman I blew a smoking radioactive crater into that check as I let loose the pent-up floodgates of a meticulously prepared spreadsheet in which I budgeted even the very smallest of planned purchases such as a pack of band-aids from the drugstore
But fucki me sideways with a taxidermied is constructor I failed to watch the clock and so missed The last bus from North Portland into Vancouver
Happily I'm flushed with cash so I commenced my graveyard shift at Sharis Restaurant And Pies by stuffing myself silly with a T-Bone steak and eggs flushed down with lots of volcano hot lignite black coffee
I was doing real well but the abrupt withdrawal of my meds is really getting me down
While many have been the days I dreamt of vengeance there's no court of law so powerful as to bring back the serenity and dignity of three or four years of panic stricken madmen who were trapped in OHSU's medieval oubliettes not only with no toilets but as well with no telephones with which they could have called for help as well as for comfort, nor any nurse call buttons by which they might have been spared agony as well as their fear for their own very lives had they suddenly taken physically ill.
My work to fight the stigma against us madmen is performed with a stoic patience and good humor but it gets me down sometimes. I mean it really does: that the architect who designed those bare concrete cells could have so thoughtlessly disregard our common humanity and so failed to design in so much as those primitive amenities as provided for those whose crimes are so great as well as so foul that they are condemned to pay their considerable debts to society by expiring their brief Ticks in the chambers the chairs or the injectable lethals.
