    It's all so completely absurd.

    Education is extremely important.

      @jon-nyc said in Trumpenomics:

      ChatGPT gave me an estimate of 4-7 years to build a large aluminum smelting plant in the US at a cost of ~$5B per million tons of annual output. Oh and that assumes you have 15-20 terawatt hours per year of electricity generation nearby, enough to power about 1MM homes.

      So yeah, no one’s doing that based on a tariff that might not last until June, let alone 2030.

          We import >80% of our rare earths from China.

          I wonder if they’ve told Trump to request a call.

            Just wanted to say POTUS is looking well, a bit thinner in the face and very healthy. Anyone noticed a difference?

                      The most charitable explanation is that Navarro/Lutnick just take their fight public after losing a skirmish in a conference room somewhere.

                          As for an update on "Drill, Baby, Drill", more drills were shut down in the past week than in the past 2 years.
