@nextcloud "Will US data transfers to China clouds become risky?"*
Sorry, #American here, just giving my #ignorant opinion. ^>^ but really, what even is reality these days? Do what's right, hope others will follow. That is all we can do.
Trump mades deals with penguins and insects on tariffs.
Everyone else is saying GFY.
Just when you thought he couldn't get stupider or more historically ignorant...
His Orangeness Mango Mussolini, the Melon Felon, has a bee in his bonnet [1] about canals, but it's not just about #Panama now. On his social network - a fork of Mastodon, of course - he wrote:

The Panama canal, maybe.
The Suez canal, however, was proposed by a #Frenchman, financed primarily by #Europeans, built by forced and voluntary labour sourced from countries in the region under the management of the French, and then operated by a French company with a contract for 99 years.
The USA had absolutely #zilch to do with the Suez canal. Which is probably for the best, because the USA was kind busy fighting its own civil war and then the #reconstruction that followed it - the canal was built from 1859 to 1869.
So, Mr. Trump: pull your head out of your ass, admit your ignorance, apologize to Egypt, France, and the rest, and slink off to your history-free corner of D.C. with your tail between your legs.
[1] Maybe it's good he has a bee in there. There isn't much else rattling around in that particular bone soap dish.

#Trump and his #arrogant, #ignorant coterie are doing their very best to destroy the things that do make America great - #education, #art, #libraries and #science. It is so feckin #depressing and I can only wish good speed to those who are doing their best to stem the tide and repel the infidels. I really never thought I would ever be making common ground with Universities such as #Yale.

#GOP only knows how to start a #recession. Since WW2, #USA has seen most #growth and #prosperity under #Democrat #governance. #MAGA is by far the #worst of the lot. In addition to being #ignorant, they are the epitome of #arrogance, #racism and #antiAmerican behavior.

![So, are these differences in outcomes just the result of random chance? One would think so. But the application of universally accepted statistical methodology says otherwise.
The last five recessions all started while a Republican was in the White House (Reagan. G.H.W. Bush, G.W. Bush twice, and Trump). Readers can check out the chronology for themselves. The odds of getting that outcome by chance, if the true probability of a recession starting during a Democrat’s presidency were equal to that during a Republican’s presidency, would be (1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2), i.e., one out of 32 = 3.1%. Very unlikely. The same as the odds of getting “heads” on five out of five consecutive coin-flips. Such a rejection of equality is said to be “statistically significant at the 95% level of confidence.”
What if we go back further? A remarkable 9 of the last 10 recessions have started when a Republican was president. The odds that this outcome would have occurred just by chance are even more remote: one out of 100. [That is, 10/210 = 0.0098.]](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/337/207/182/112/230/original/700c65af36af4676.png "So, are these differences in outcomes just the result of random chance?
