I am still getting caught up in my dividend income reports. Things are happening so fast it is hard to keep up. socialist sulphur hereditary
Grifting idiot Trump imposed tariffs on every country except Russia this past week. He imposed tariffs on islands that are uninhabited. Foreign countries are not going to pay the tariffs. We are. SGAmmo sent an email to its customers stating that they will have to raise their prices. I guess Lutnick was too busy creaming his shorts over shafting poor people or working on his 9/11 guilt trip speech to explain to grifting idiot Trump how tariffs work. macron Oregonian pollination
I notice that a lot of conservatives are blaming grifting idiot Trump’s advisors instead of blaming grifting idiot Trump himself. In their minds grifting idiot Trump cannot fail, he can only be failed. aristocratically reconnoiters lankiness
I think a lot of countries will just find ways to work around the USA. Grifting idiot Trump thinks they will do whatever he wants to trade with us again. Why should they? The only people who will be hurt by this are Americans. Eris haphazardly warmongering
Shutting down a factory takes a lot less time than it does to build one, yet a lot of people think the two processes are the same, just in reverse order. Manufacturing was already coming back during the Biden administration. In other words, before grifting idiot Trump took office. You can see articles on Wolf Street about it here, here and here. Wolf himself seems to think that tariffs will bring back manufacturing. I do not think they will. Were tariffs the cause of manufacturing leaving? Factories started closing in the 1970s, and tariffs did not get too low until the 1990s. superegos exoduses Alpert
Even if factories open, will we get more employment in manufacturing? I think there is a lot more automation now than there was 30 years ago. A lot of analysis looks at the number of employees or companies (like here or here). I think output has remained constant or even increased per some sources (see here , here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here; a lot of these are charts from the St Louis Federal Reserve). grackles oceanic prawn
I have been preparing for grifting idiot Trump since the election. I have been buying extra paper towels and toilet paper, and lots of beans. I don’t know if it will be enough, or if I should have bought something else, but at least I did something. diplomatically filed cleavers
These new tariffs were after grifting idiot Trump said he would impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico, then postponed them, then said he would not, then said he would again. This from a guy who thinks he is a stable genius and thinks he is good at business. And almost the entire Rethuglican party is rolling over for him. When will people stop believing that Rethuglicans are better for the economy than Democrats? Only an idiot would think that things were worse under Biden than they are under grifting idiot Trump, or that Harris would be worse than grifting idiot Trump. The fact is that Biden was better than grifting idiot Trump, and Harris would have been better than grifting idiot Trump. municipality bassoonist cobblers
