> But I do support the ability of the government to set policy without convincing every one of its constituents of the validity of its evidence.
To claim that the environment is unsafe (or safe for that matter) one must _test_ their beliefs against empirical evidence, not just _illustrate_ such theory with selected facts. Has the government done that in this case?

When the imports get more expensive because of tariffs it's by definition the tariffs imposed by importing country, i.e. China in this case.

Let's kill one of the few remaining private industries where we're still the best in the world?!
How about "let's build the next Hollywood" instead?

I disagree. Apple understands software extremely well. What they don't understand is 3rd party software. The same mentality that eventually killed DEC.

That's true. I believe you can use Fat Free CRM with Postgres without UUIDs, just like SQLite backend that is supported.
I'll take a closer look at supporting Postgress sometime soon. Among other things I'd really like people to be able to deploy to Heroku easily.

That's an interesting perspective. There's some personal history of why I called it Fat Free CRM, but your point is well taken.
