Knowledge is knowing that there was no year 0, so technically, the new decade begins Jan. 1, 2021, not 2020.
Wisdom is knowing that we started this system in the middle, it's socially constructed anyway, and it feels right to treat "1 to 10" as a decade, so that's what we do.

Conservatism, like any ideology, is an amalgam. This policy tells a lot about Trump's version of conservatism. It's not free markets. It's not even pro-business. It's punitive toward an industry and a population (non-Americans) that Trumpian conservatives don’t like.
