As Zimmerman left his house for Target he noticed a man standing in the middle of his neighbor's lawn staring at the front of the house in the rain. He parked his car and observed, calling the police. Trayvon then walked up and stood in front of Zimmerman's car staring at him briefly then turned around and took off running. This is described in the police dispatch recording. Zimmerman followed in that direction to see where Trayvon went in order to inform the police but he did not close the distance to Trayvon.

After losing sight of Trayvon Zimmerman slowly started walking back to his car.

Trayvon reached is father's mistress's house where he was staying with the mistress's son while father and mistress stayed in a hotel that night. He told the girl on the phone he reached 'home'.

His bio mom wanted nothing to do with him since toddler age (until after his death), his step mom who raised him now was being divorced/cheated on by his dad. And he was at the third woman's house because he was kicked out of his school. Imagine the anger after all this when Zimmerman ruined his burglary plans. Trayvon then left 'his house' and went back out to find and attack Zimmerman.

The father came home the next morning, noticed Trayvon missing, and called the police under his assumption that Trayvon probably had been arrested and was in Jail.

Trayvon likely attacked Zimmerman for being a 'snitch'. Not a stalker.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

The idea that consumers pay all the tariff is based on ECON 101 two country model. If you take ECON 300-400 International Econ you go into more nuance as this board is famous for. With three or more countries things get more complicated.

EXAMPLE 1A: Free Trade (Toasters $12 each from China and$12 each from India)
• USA buys 100 toasters from China
• USA buys 100 toasters from India
• Total Imports 200 toasters: $2400
• Tariff Revenue: none
• Who Pays Tariff? (No tariff – free trade)

EXAMPLE 1B: TARIFF ADDED $5 per toaster on China
• USA buys 0 toasters from China
• USA buys 200 toasters from India
• Total Imports: 200 toasters all from India $2400
• Tariff Revenue: $0
• Who pays Tariff? no one, but China suffers loss in 100 toaster exports to USA.

EXAMPLE 2: When China and India differ in toaster costs.

EXAMPLE 2A: Free Trade (Toasters $10 from China and $12 from India)
• USA buys 200 toasters from China
• USA buys 0 toasters from India
• Total Imports 200 toasters from China, $2000
• Tariff Revenue: $0

EXAMPLE 2B Add $5 Tariff on China, China does not respond).
• China toasters are now $10 + 5 = $15.
• USA buys 200 toasters from India
• Total Cost $1200
• Tariff Revenue: $0
• Result: USA consumes suffer $2 per toaster (not $5) and China loses all toaster sales.

EXAMPLE 2c ($5 Tariff on China, China responds with $4 subsidy on toasters)
• China Toasters are now $10+5-4=$11
• USA buys 200 toasters from China and 0 from India
• Total Imports 200 toasters, $1100
• China taxpayers pay $4 per each toaster going to USA
• Tariff Revenue: $5*200=$1000
• USA Consumers pay $1 and Chinese Taxpayers pay $4 for each $5 going to the USA Treasury.

In that last example toaster "farmers" could be paid $400 in welfare and it would be 'free' in the sense that China taxpayers would be paying it. Only downsides is $100 more being paid by toaster customers at the same time. But from USA public welfare overall perspective: $400>$100 so net benefit of $300 To USA Citizens (consumers and 'farmers' combined).

Currently in a meeting so I'm unable to listen. Does she sound like she's about to cry?

Yes, but she looks like she is actually crying.

I had the same frustration with her answer but hopefully she was just avoiding taking the bait. While it would be satisfying to have her lay out the true facts on this specific issue not sure it is the right time or place for that. It would only make her a lightning rod for protests and cancel culture.

Also maybe she is not up to speed on the details due to being a busy person and she only knows the media version of the story. The true story takes a lot of effort for the average person to becoming aware of it.

Her 2nd amendment answers more than make up for this.

Your thinking of the Biden family.

Cocaine Mitch is based on his family owned Chinese cargo ship that they found some cocaine in it. His political opponent tried to attack him for it and he embraced the nickname Cocaine Mitch.

You are confusing the offense and sentencing (both of which DID treat hetero- and homo- the same) with REGISTRATION, which did not.

To be clear, I HAVE simplified a bit to avoid being too graphic, but you seem to be going there.

The exception to the old registry statute actually dealt specifically with penile/vaginal sex only, such that a 23yo man could avoid the registry for vaginal sex with a 14 yo girl but not for performing cunnilingus on her or receiving fellatio from her. While ALL same-sex contact resulted in a mandatory spot on the registry.

Does your argument hinge on boys not having a vagina? So the lesser act is impossible with a boy? The same act is treated the same regardless of gender or orientation, true?

It is just some parings of genders people don't have certain body parts to do the lesser act.

It think you need to expand your worldview transgender boys have vaginas and a homosexual man could benefit from the same judicial leniency under the old law with vaginal sex with a transgender boy.
