U.S.-China Trade War Gets Wrapped Up in Twist-Ties. Minnesota company’s plastic-and-wire closures—a fixture on bread bags—are at the leading edge of Washington’s tariff tiff with Beijing. (WSJ)
@JoshZumbrun
My bread is bagged in plastic/to keep it fresh and moist/
but if it is not tied off/I fear the very woist/
TWIST ties are the answer/from good old Uncle Sam/
no furrin imports, buddy/no Chinese knock-offs, ma'am/
And if they undercut us/a tariff war they'll get/
until they holler 'Uncle!'/and eat crow with baguette.
A surge in worldwide demand by educators
for low-cost laptops has created shipment delays
and pitted desperate schools against one another.
Districts with deep pockets often win out.

@Kellen_Browning
Online classes are no good/in a flat broke neighborhood/
School districts will not bestow/laptops on the poor and low/
So a generation sinks/lacking any hashtag links/
to the future, bright and clean/which now belongs to those
with green.
North Korea’s ‘monster’ missile sends menacing
message to next U.S. president. (WaPo)
@simondenyer
Kim Jong Un is awful proud/that among the atom crowd/
his ballistic missiles loom/as the ultimate in doom/
They are aimed across the sea/at an unnamed enemy/
Canada or Mexico?/Mushroom clouds will let us know/
What a thankless task awaits/the next Prez of these United
States!
