Ha ha, no. We still have the coming preventable diseases and all the other fallout from RFK Jr.'s 'leadership'."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Good news is I think Trump include Russia on his new tariff list. I was worried he was going to harm our friendly relationships.Comment

The sweeping tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump on Wednesday target not only economic superpowers but also financial minnows. In fact, a White House list notes some territories with no economy, and no people, at all.
That is the exact case of the Heard Island and McDonald Islands, an Australian external territory in the southern Indian Ocean, which was hit with a 10% tariff.

The percentages that he came up with are crap, and likely derived by AI. If you ask ChatGPT to come up with a method to equalize the trade deficit with specific numbers, his method is what is kicked back as a response.Originally posted by BlueK View Post
He took the exports to a country divided by the imports from that country, and claimed that was their tariff rate. The reciprocal tariff (the new Trump Toilet Tier Tarif) is then half that. So Madagascar, a country that we import tons of vanilla from and that buys very little from us because they are far away and the median income is like $500/year, shows as having a Trump Calculated Tariff of 94%. So to "equalize" that, the TTTT is 47%.
Good thing we don't use Madagascar vanilla in anything. I mean, if they don't want to pay that, they should just move their agricultural sector to the US and start growing vanilla here. Our vast vanilla growing farmers need to be protected!Comment

I have already mentally pushed back my retirement a couple of years based on what I think Trump will do to my investments. So if CB is correct and he is actually a negotiating genius, it will be a happy surprise when I can retire at the point that a year ago I thought was a given.Originally posted by SteelBlue View PostComment

Funny, the Fox News website has nothing yet on stocks crashing. It has a picture of Rand Paul with a label of "disloyal' on it with a story about him and the 3 other Republican senators complaining about the tariffs. Positive spins on Musk and the tariffs which are making countries "crawl back" or send threats Givee me a break. What garbage.Comment

I read this and thought ‘no way are they that bad’. It’s even worse. There are 10 articles above the news about the market crash, including a DEI and trans athlete article. Another one has the headline ‘major blow’ and states that some countries are already ‘crawling back’ to the US after the tariffs.Originally posted by BlueK View Post

Yeah, have to get trans athletes in there in case anyone has doubts about the economic stuff.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post
And the very long article about "what to know" about tariffs is written as if it's trying to sound objective but manages to do it without a single mention of how they will affect consumer prices. There is zero credible way to argue that an extensive, supposedly informational article about tariffs shouldn't say something about how it could affect prices. Written for loyalists and idiots..it's one thing to have a point of view or spin. But this is intentionally dishonest.Comment
