Trumpenomics

We’re going to ‘bring home’ jobs that pay 300-500 per month.

The fashion guy is doing this to all the magat grifters.

What’s your over/under on “greedy corporations” becoming a MAGA talking point?

That started last week. Remember, Trump is the union candidate.

I think they did, in one form or another.

Now, prove me wrong.

You only think they did ?

Let me inform you that with that lame ass response the onus is on you to offer jon proof that you are correct. Not other way round as you insist.

[Doctor Phibes]

Every President since Teddy Roosevelt has secretly blamed The Jews for everything.

Prove me wrong.

For the expediency of the moment. Sooner or later he will turn against organized labour. Cost of labour in the US is far too high for what he thinks he is trying to accomplish.

I shot an arrow into the air,
where it lands, I know not where...
But rest assured if there be good in where it lands,
DJT will claim it was because of his command.

Ok, y'all can now officially abandon all hope...

I have a bad feeling about Monday as well.

[Renauda]

See what happens Sunday evening when the Asian markets open Monday morning. That will set the ball in motion.

I've been worried about the non-tariff retaliations myself. I can see countries saying - we're done with google, meta and amazon. Not allowed here.

BC is still pondering whether to toll US truck transport using provincial highways and roads en route to Alaska. It has had to rewrite - for good reason, I might add - much of the legislation it had drafted two weeks ago that among other retaliatory measures, would have to enabled BC to levy tolls on all US commercial vehicles using BC roadways to Alaska.

I'm just sitting back, enjoying the show.

It's a complete shitshow.
It's going to create severe hardship for millions, people with no savings, living on the breadline, dependent on jobs which will now vanish. Anyone sitting back enjoying this shitshow is a shit.

You mentioned Larry, the piano expert and nasty bigot who wanted to round up all Arabs in America and send them all to the middle east. I doubt he would be sitting back enjoying the show.
May he RIP.

This is starting to feel a lot like the 2008 panic and the 2020 COVID panic. I kinda think there is more than a bit of overreaction to this.

I think I’ve been blunt, I despise American Labor Unions. I think that they served a needed and valuable function 80 years ago, but are no longer needed, and have actually harmed American manufacturing extensively over the past 50 years. I also despise protectionist policies that go hand-in-hand with Union goals.

That being said, the response seems over the top. A little too much overreaction. Personally, I’ll tighten the belt a little (very glad the last tuition check has been cashed for Lucas) and will invest a little more aggressively over the next few weeks…
