@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.

So now China is boycotting Boeing, presumably switching all their business to airbus. Planes parts service, the whole Monty.
Boeing is in for a rough time, imagine losing all those orders, and Boeing factory people being layed off because of the lost market potential.
