Their likes and dislikes may or may not be shared by others and others may have completely different preferences and tastes....

Small-scale diamond mines pockmark Venezuela and, as recently as 1997, the country exported 300,000 carats of the gems, worth about $30 million. But these days, the official diamond trade has dwindled to zero.

“It’s critically important that the administration and the White House handle this in a way that’s based on science and not based on politics,” the former mayor said on NBC’s Today. “I was particularly disturbed to hear the word hoax used by the president recently in talking about this issue.” “Our lives depend on the wisdom and the judgment of the president at a time like this. What we should be seeing is not only a reliance on science and an insistence on moving politics away from this, but the kind of coordination that is uniquely the leadership role of the White House,” Buttigieg said....
