Going Forward: Preschool-development grants are written into the Every Student Succeeds Act and authorized for up to $250 million, but are dependent on continued federal funding. Also dependent on congressional lawmakers is increased funding for Head Start that would provide a full school day and year for all the children currently enrolled. New performance standards for Head Start have set 2021 as a deadline for the program expansion, but the incoming U.S. secretary of health and human services has the authority to extend the deadline.
As for the incoming administration, President-elect Donald Trump during his campaign released a fairly detailed set of early-childhood proposals, including guaranteeing six weeks of paid maternity leave; allowing a family with a stay-at-home parent to deduct child-care costs from taxes; and creating dependent-care savings accounts for child care and education.

SOME GOT OFF THE GROUND,SOME NOT......BUT HAS TRUMP KEEP HIS PROPOSALS FOR EARLY CHILD HOOD???
Containerized imports from China, which still represent a significant portion of US inbound goods, have plunged by as much as 60 percent, according to industry trackers. Retailers are now bracing for rolling product shortages that could emerge as early as mid-May, with broader consequences unfolding into the summer and fall.
Historically, ocean freight between China and the US has taken between 20 to 45 days to arrive, which means goods ordered or canceled in early April are only now reaching or failing to reach US ports. The Port of Los Angeles has reported a dramatic increase in blank sailings (ships arriving empty) with a combined expected loss of over 350,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in May and June. These shipping disruptions have already begun reducing stock available for core retail categories,

So, you're saying that when all is said and done, Trump WILL NOT get our country a better trade deal with China? Is that what you're saying or are you once again going to hedge your bet with some word salad bullshit?

I POSTED A REPLY,BUT IT SOMEHOW WENT MIA....I WILL RESTATE. IF, IN 90 DAYS,TRUMP SHOWS RESPECT TO CHINA (RESPECT IS PARAMOUNT IN THE EAST)...THE NEGOTIATIONS MAY
BE BENEFICIAL IN THE LONG RUN....SHORT TERM, THERE HAS BEEN TOO MUCH CHAOS FOR ANY BUSINESS TO PLAN/OPERATE WITHIN A REASONABLE ARC. THE KEY IS TRUMP'S EGO AND CHINA HAS NO PATIENCE WITH DISRESPECT.....IT IS UP TO TH POTUS TO PRESENT HIMSELF IN A PLEASING DEMEANOR,WITH THE INTENT ON FAIR AND EQUITABLE NEGOTIATIONS. WE WILL WAIT
You and the leftist morons you vote for don’t get it. China and our other enemies respect leverage and power, which is why Democrats don’t make deals, they accept unjust trade and rouge countries that want to wipe us off the map. China loves weak Democrats, so does Iran.

When negotiating with Chinese business partners, it is crucial to avoid confrontation. This can be achieved by understanding their cultural differences and perspectives. By showing respect and humility, you can build a positive connection with your Chinese partners.
It is also important to be patient and flexible during negotiations, as they may take longer than expected. By being well-prepared and culturally sensitive, you can navigate the negotiation process smoothly and prevent confrontational situations from arising.
