I just wish the current administration understands the majority of large US companies are

multinational and getting into a trade war hurts all Americans not just foreign countries. 

It certainly gets tricky with the multi-nationals and products being created in many places, etc. But, I think they are just trying to balance things out some. For example, in the 'trade battle' with Canada, they are imposing tariffs on stuff like aluminum, steel, etc. (if I understand correctly) in an attempt to bargain with Canada on the *massive* tariffs Canada has imposed on stuff like dairy products. (and, while I don't follow the MSM too closely, I've not heard that at all on USA MSM... only a Canadian media outlet, ironically)

the trouble there is the Canadian government does not subsidise dairy products, the U.S. does, meaning the price is artificially lower. trump can say U.S. dairy farmers must be protected, but why cannot Canada protect their farmers from artificially low U.S. dairy product prices? And put in better context, dairy is 0.2% of the total value of good exported to Canada from U.S. The U.S. has a 164% tariff on unshelled peanuts, and a massive 350% tariff on tobacco. The point is that we need to see it as a whole, narrowing down on one specific part of trade is missing the forest for the tree. 

whoops

I wonder if that involves a backdoor.

This seems like a whole lot of work compared to simply opening a finder window. The real problem is the continued unreliability of AirDrop. It’s a lot better than it used to be, but I still have issues with it on a very regular basis. The ease of use makes it worth trying, but every time I use it I find myself subconsciously thinking about what I’ll do when it doesn’t work. 

It's damned unreliable. If it's not consistent, how can you trust it? The real pain is that you can't transfer files between iOS and Mac locally (not iCloud) without it.

yes you can transfer files locally. I have used bonjour, and logging in to another computer to share. I have done this so many times. I have even created a wireless network between computers to share files.
