26 – The family of billionaire philanthropists Barry and Honey Sherman offered up to $10 million for information that would solve the December 2017 killings of the Toronto couple.

27 – U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford traded vastly different versions of their high school days during testimony at his confirmation hearing. The California professor said she was “100 per cent” certain she was sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh in the summer of 1982. Kavanaugh said he was the victim of a calculated political hit that had destroyed his family and his good name.

23 – A bomb was found in a mailbox at the suburban New York estate of George Soros, the liberal billionaire philanthropist who had been the target of right-wing conspiracy theorists. It was the first of more than a dozen suspicious packages mailed to critics of U.S. President Donald Trump over the following week. Packages were also sent to CNN, former President Barack Obama, former presidential candidate Hilary Clinton and actor Robert de Niro. None of the packages exploded.

The argument about "countries can get cheaper products from poorer countries..." is classic Milton Friedman right-wing thinking, and what it really is, is fostering a race to the economic and environmental bottom.  You see this at its most dramatic in the shipbreaking industry at Alang, India, where some 22 miles of beach are converted into outdoor ship-wrecking yards, with men paid a dollar a day to work with zero safety equipment cutting up huge freighters and tankers. Men get hurt and die every day, nobody cares, nothing is paid in compensation.  Do you really want to live in a brutish, Hobbsian world that that portends?   US steel casting is done under stringent conditions, and excluding steel made under primitive conditions acts as a bar to the race to the bottom.  Does it cost a little more?  Probably.  So what?  All developed economies adjust to the changes in input pricing, so that is not a knock-out factor.  Pushing out Chinese (and Indian) steel displaces dumped steel made under conditions not tolerated in the USA, and accepting dumping is not in the interests of working people any more than of consumers. You don't buy pharmaceuticals manufactured by some guy with an eighth grade education using an old washing machine tub to mix the ingredients either  (or, to be accurate, you shouldn't).  Same principle here.
